Check  for disk fragmentation using your LaCie disk utility,and tell it 
to defragment...  well I have that one  with my external HD.. My internal
Hard disk
started giving the same problems, and  DiskFirst Aid told me that I had
Bad spots on the disk...so it's goin'  bad and eventually  will be all
useless...

To avoid using your hard disk so intensively:
Add a command to the user preferences which enables  RAMcaching within
netscape...then turn off disk caching...It stopped  banging so hard on my
disk drive  when I did that...I have a cablemodem..Use BBEdit and (Any files)..
go.. System Folder->Preferences-->Netscape Users-->(user)-->Netscape Preferences

add the following .. 

user_pref("browser.cache.memory_cache_size", 12288);

Be sure Netscape is not running,  It rewrites this file when You exit.
I lost  my  password to my mail  account  when I did this, though;  fortunatly
I had it written  down!

Nothing terribly specific - I'd start by running Disk First Aid/Norton
Disk Doctor/TechTool Pro to check the HDD.  Then I'd re-build the
desktop.  If no joy, flush Netscape's cache and re-install the thing.
Defrag the HDD if you've got something that'll do that.  Maybe zap PRAM
using TechTool.

Have you recently played with your cache RAM settings?  Installed any
new software?

You might try asking on uk.comp.sys.mac.
