autocompletion slows thunderbird

Thunderbird Troubleshooting

When I type an address into the To: line in Thunderbird Compose, the CPU usage goes WAY up and TB won't let me type. This happens after typing only a few characters the time it takes to display the characters I type goes to several seconds, making it really difficult to type and/or make corrections. After several 10s of seconds I can type again, but the character display is still measured in seconds, not 10ths of seconds!
