Steps to reproduce:

When using Thundbird (10.0.2) with Lightning enabled, writing an email is annoying in that there are frequent, long (5 seconds) pauses before typed characters appear. With Lightning is disabled the problem disappears.

Actual results:

It appears that Lightning is consuming a lot of processing power or it has delays in it. Perhaps it is searching a database too thoroughly and too frequently.

Expected results:

Since Lightning is a background application to Thunderbird, it should not be such a consumer of resources.

I have this problem in two computers, a Dell running 32-bit Windows 7 and an HP running 64-bit Windows 7.
