Oh now this is interesting (and annoying...) The Aug 1 nightly build (https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/2012-08-01-04-20-04-comm-aurora/) beachballs and consumes a big chunk of CPU when I select several messages in a folder including the test message, but it *doesn't* consume gigabytes of memory - whereas trunk as of last Thursday eats both CPU and memory.
That means we get to bisect two problems - the CPU load before Aug 1 and the memory bloat after.
