I know. I use it.
But does not suit for my daily business-work needs.

You should be comparing to the FF 4 betas. They've also been working on
speed increases.

I thought I was alone in this, I've also ditched Iceweasel. I've
found claws-mail to be just fine, and have recently dropped Gnome and
replaced it with xfce. Gnome has grown fat and sluggish - far too
slow for my eight-year-old desktop (P4)

And what's the problem? I use Gmail via IMAP just fine.

I often wonder about this; IIRC, FF used to advertise itself as
"lightweight". Does it still do that? Was it ever accurate?

Maybe at version 1.0...but it just seems to become more and more bloated
with each release. Quite disappointing, really.
How does Seamonkey fare at performance/resource handling? Is it any
better than FF? I haven't used it in quite some time.

It was lighter that the Mozilla suite that it "replaced". It was similar
technology, but just a browser. It lacked the HTML editing abilities, the
mail and news reader components, and a few other things. This significantly
reduced load times and initial memory usage.
Much of the memory usage can be blamed on aggressive per-tab caching of
webpages and/or extensions or plugins. Still, I find FF to cause me more
problems than my other browser options, but having it around is essential for
some sites, it seems.
I still prefer konqueror, or chromium-browser if konqueror doesn't work on a
certain site. Still, I find myself using FF + ABP on a few flash-ad-ridden
sites.

Don't all the addons most folks use slow FF down even more?

I'm not in the best position to speak about Mozilla products because I
wouldn't be objective (still using old versions of both, Iceweasel
-3.0.x- and Icedove -2.x-) but true is that Mozilla products (Netscape
Navigator suite) has never been known by its good management of memory :-)
Is Firefox "lightweight"? Well, it has a small footprint in the system
(~10 MiB, which is not bad for what provides), but overall I'd say "no".
I've worked with konqueror (and now also Epiphany) and konqueror
performed a better job in many aspects, not only with memory management.
"200" MiB of ram for just 2 applications (mozilla based) is excessive. And
I only have 2 tabs opened :-/
