This is related to Thunderbird global indexer. It is @ยง$%&(/=?*'{[!"@@
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!
