Bug Description
Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird
Steps to reproduce:
Open Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 in the last version of Ubuntu 8.04 (wrote at february 11, 2007).
Thunderbird starts some task that uses 10% of CPU (centrino duo 1,8GHz) and a very high amount of physical memory.
In two minutes, 217 MB. In one hour, 400+ MB.
I currently have 3 e-mail accounts and 5 RSS subscriptions.
summary: |
- Thunderbird uses A LOT of memory + Thunderbird RSS should have a per feed limit per download |

Hi All. Me again.
It was my fault at 95%. One of that feeds (made by me...) had 249.000+ items (due to a design error based on un-forecasted circumstances. D'OH!).
So we are talking about a leak of feature rather than a bug. This feature I am suggesting is simply some kind of size limit on feed loading. May be implemented through a warning dialog at N MB, or a numerical setting in the preferences panel, or both, or another better idea.
Thanks.
