I've been having the same problem. But only on one of my machines. So, on a hunch, I quit thunderbird, deleted the global-messages-db.sqlite, relaunched thunderbird and let it reindex from scratch. After some minutes, the indexing was finished and the cpu usage by thunderbird returned to zero. Everything seems fine now.
Hope this might work for you?? I'm going to guess that there is some bug that promotes a race condition under rare circumstances, either on upgrade or otherwise.
