TB 45.6.0 high CPU load when connecting to unreachable IMAP server

Here is the requested performance profile with TB 45.6.0 on a Mac.
(The setup for getting it was a bit involved, using both FF and TB, but ok.)

Note that anyone can easily reproduce this CPU misuse:
Just set the IMAP Server Name of some account to an unreachable IP address like 
1.2.3.4 and try getting emails from there.

This bug is apparently very low-level in the Mozilla network layer and
has a number of related bug reports touched again recently also for FF.

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.
