This is related to Thunderbird global indexer. It is @§$%&(/=?*'{[!"@@
inefficiently written. And while indexing killing the whole system. Second
point: the indexer does a full index every time a new mail arrives. And to make
the whole messy: it starts over and over again -- even if it is already running
for every mail arriving!! In short: if two mails arrive, two indexer threads
are started. If four mails arrive four. If 100 mail arrive, 100. Quite clear
now why Thunderbird renders every machine it is installed unusable --
especially if the indexer is started before the previously started indexers
finished. from time to time I have about 1000 indexer threads running ...!
That is a real bug! If one indexer was started, it shall block starting further
indexers, running them later, after it has finished, not trying to start as
many as the system allows!

Title:
thunderbird renders system unusable
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
After starting Thunderbird, then open any available nntp-server
(news.gmane.org, or news.individual.org (you'll need an account to
access this server)). Thunderbird will immediately block on any
newsgroup with a reasonable amount of new messages. It will consume
100% CPU, slow down the whole system significantly. After a while
Thunderbird is grayed out most of the time. You can't access it
anymore. Sometimes this lasts for hours. Working with Thunderbird is
impossible.
