High CPU Usage on Linux

Thunderbird Crashing and slow performance
FirefoxSync96 replied

I am running Thunderbird 140.9.1esr on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

For a long time now, Thunderbird often runs at high CPU (80-100% of one core), for several minutes at a time (5-10 minutes). This seems to happen many times every day, with no apparent cause from my end. (I just got back from Lunch, and the fan on my laptop was going crazy because of the high CPU.)

What can we do to identify and fix this issue?

I have recently found that minimizing Thunderbird causes CPU utilization to drop to nearly 0. Not sure if that helps identify the issue....

So, no one even has any guesses about how to start trying to identify this issue?
