Hi, I think that after the initial import, all runs normally, but that
somehow Thunderbird uses too much CPU time for the rest of the computer
to function responsively whilst doing the import (266 MHz PII, 256 MiB
RAM here). A warning message similar to what happens when regenerating
locales might be helpful, but in my case (possibly due to heavy use of
the (high priority) Xorg process by Thunderbird combined with high CPU
use in importing), there appeared to be close to a system lock-up.
The question here is whether thunderbird is ment to run in such
"low-performance" environment.
Was your complete desktop unresponsive in that time or just thunderbird?

This was the complete desktop feeling "locked".
Thunderbird is fine now, even with a prelink running in a console window.
In past employment I've run Mozilla and OpenOffice.org on a Sparcstation
10 with 2 * 50 MHz CPU's and 224 MiB of RAM, so I don't mind the
slowness, but do get annoyed when the computer fails to respond in a few
seconds.
Regards,
Arthur.
