**Workaround:**
I found that disabling the indeterminate progress progress bar is not
enough; the spinning throbber in the tab is also responsible for CPU
usage.
I'm using the below in my Thunderbird profile folder's
`chrome/userChrome.css` to disable both, resulting in the 15-20% CPU
usage disappearing:
@namespace
url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul";);
/* nh2: Progress bar CPU usage fix. */
/* For some stupid reason we can't match the html:progress that's the first
child of this container.
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562977#c61
So we can't style the progress bar so that it does doesn't get shown
only when
indeterminate (which takes the most CPU), or style it to render faster.
So for now we hide the entire parent container, thus getting rid of the
progress bar entirely.
*/
#statusbar-progresspanel {
display: none;
}
/* nh2: Tab throbber animations also take a lot of CPU; hide them.
Unfortunately I didn't find a way to replace them by a static image.
*/
.tab-throbber[busy] {
display: none !important;
}
.tab-throbber[progress] {
display: none !important;
}
