Thunderbird programmers do not seem to know how to code to release for
user actions. It locks itself up until it finishes what it wants to do.
Not good programming. I cannot seem to stop what is happening or do
other simple tasks until TBird finishes.


You noticed that too, eh? Yeah that is very annoying about TB for me.
Funny some people claim they do not see it. I admit if you have more
processor power than you know what to do with, the slowness is less
noticeable. I also heard if you use IMAP email (I do), TB spends much of
its time updating indexes. This in turn tends to really slow down TB a lot.
