TO/CC search is very slow
In previous editions of Thunderbird, any time I started typing names or addresses in TO or CC there was no lag. Now Thunderbird takes its sweet time before making recommendations. Sometimes it can take several seconds. Is there a way to speed this back up? Optimize it?

There was a recent change in how autofill works. It used to use 'Begins with' but now includes 'Contains'. Unfortuately this also means that it takes longer to search and can produce a lag for some people.
There is much work being done to rectify the several bugs and issues this created.
I have used an addon which also has many other useful features to help get around this. This has worked for me, so try it out and see if things improve for you.

Download the .xpi file to your eg: desktop.
How to install addons: Tools > Addons OR Menu icon > Addons
- click onthe gear wheel icon and select 'Install addon from file'
- You may need to restart Thunderbird.
Then you have to tweak the preferences.
there are two methods:
If using TB version 31 +
click on 'Address Book'
Tools > MorefunctionsForAddressBook > Preferences
Select 'Autocomplete' tab
Select: For autocomplete match just the beginning of the entries
click on OK
OR use the Config Editor Note: If using TB version lower than 31.0, you can only use this second method.
Tools > Options > Advanced > General Tab click on 'Config Editor' button it will tell you to be careful :)
In top search type: begin look for this line:
- morecols.autocomplete.match_just_beginning; Value = true
- If the Value = False, double click on the line to toggle the 'False' to 'True'
- close config editor - top right X
- Click on OK to save changes to options,.

Sorry for the double post. I'd delete this if I had the option.

So there isn't something else in about:config to do the same thing?
No such luck :) It is hard wired in the coding and not a user preference setting unless you use an addon which offers it.
