Win7 64 bit on Intel Core i7 970 Thunderbird runs fine until/unless I compact a folder. Then it consumes CPU cycles until I restart Thunderbird. I saw the other thread about high CPU usage and wanted to attach this info to it but it seems I have to start a new thread.

Thanks for Thunderbird and all the support. I finally contributed a couple months ago after years of using it. Cheers.

Same here with 60.8.0 under Linux. It doesn't matter whether Global Search and Indexing is on or not, or what mail.db.idle.limit is set to. TB just consumes a 1/2 to a whole CPU, constantly. Restarting TB doesn't help. Lots of threads on this with no progress. Pretty horrible (bloatware). It could've started when I succumbed to the nagging to compact a folder. TB just start behaving like this.

It's just an email program for F*cks sake! It doesn't need to be so complicated that not even the devs can wraps their head around all bloated complexity. If I click a button, then do something. Otherwise do nothing. Pretty simple.

Dev Tools->Performance graphs show a lot of seemingly useless activity that I can't decipher. CG Graph Reduction, Set Interval, Cycle Collection, Set Timeout, etc. over and over...
