Still, if the end result is that we have much worse performance, or greatly increased image size compared to what we might have separating these apps into three, then I'd say I would prefer splitting them apart. Let's try to do some solid research. As you say, security isn't as much of a concern in a throw-away LiveCD system, but let's compare actual pros and cons with various apps before we decide on one. Seamonkey is nice for that all-in-one aspect, but are there advantages to trying something like, say, Chromium as a web browser, or as Drew suggested Conkeror (which I know next to nothing about)? I think the main aspects to weigh are size, performance, usability and ease of development/maintainability.
