Thunderbird version: 146.0 Platform: Windows 11 Email Provider: Google workspace

I'm slowly persuading my wife to move over from outlook to Thunderbird (due to constant issues with google sync). I've got it all setup nicely and working BUT i'm having a real issue with the thunderbird calendar taking an absolute age to populate It is quite a well used calendar with lots of recurring events/reminders to pay bills etc. Just to get the Holidays in United Kingdom takes about 30 seconds and to populate from the gmail calendar takes around 8 minutes

It's the one stumbling block i'm finding to persuade her to move over so any advice that can be given would be greatly appreciate

It may help to change recurring events to have an end date, for example a date in 2030.
