Comment 52 for bug 1074260

Irving - I tried the "try" build. After thunderbird started it began indexing 11000+ emails and started downloading from different folders. I had to exit it before it stabilized because it consumed an extremely large amount of memory and my system became extremely unresponsive.

IO wait was around 50% and load average was over 7 by the time I exited thunderbird.

  PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
26208 pcullum 20 0 12.4g 6.0g 18m D 2.7 75.1 7:04.68 ./thunderbird

Activity manager showed that it had indexed 19% of messages but it wasn't progressing anymore.

I don't know what this means but the last lines logged on the console were:
