Long Latency in Thunderbird

TB has started to exhibit terribly long latency lags

I'll be working on TB, and then it hangs for 5-10-15 seconds, if I click on a new feature, the screen goes gray until the latency resolves. Also get the Windows timeout error notice (see image)

After 10-15 seconds, TB resolves on its own and works OK for a little while, but then goes latent again after maybe 1-2 minutes. This is consistent last couple days. I've rebooted, cleaned caches, etc.. and the rest of the Win 11 PC is working fine, fast, no latency in any other program.

I asked my email providers if they were having IMAP issues, but everything OK on their end.

Ideas? TB v. 140.11.1esr (64-bit)
