I seem to be getting conflicting data here. I did the same on a fresh
profile and CPU went up to nearly 20%. The same happened when I used
DOMi to add a new progressmeter element without any eventlisteners and
such connected to it as long as the mode is set to undetermined. In
fact, it even reproduces in Firefox nightly for me when I do the
following in browser console:
var parent = window.document.getElementById("urlbar")
var progress =
gBrowser.ownerDocument.defaultView.document.createElementNS("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul";,
"progressmeter");
progress.setAttribute("mode", "undetermined");
parent.appendChild(progress);
Could someone confirm that last bit to make sure it's not just me? If
so, then the only thing Thunderbird can do is to work around by not
using undetermined mode at all..

Title:
Thunderbird: high CPU usage from progress bars
Status in Mozilla Thunderbird:
Confirmed
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird
When sending a simple and short email with Thunderbird via SMTP the
CPU is used intensively. This seems not to be necessary. If the
sending failed and an corresponding error message dialog appears, the
CPU is still being used. When pressing ok to close the error dialog
the CPU is fine. This suggests it might be related specifically to the
progress bar. Such behavior is especially annoying on a laptop where
you can hear the CPU usage because of a starting fan.
