298005 - 80% CPU usage while contacting smtp server to send email

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Zbynek Winkler]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050517 Firefox/1.0.4 (Debian package 1.0.4-2)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050517 Firefox/1.0.4 (Debian package 1.0.4-2)

Our smtp runs some checks on the outgoing email (the admins say...) so it takes
a while before the message is accepted. During that time Thunderbird displays
the "Sending message" window and takes about 80% of CPU (this can last more then
20sec for some emails).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.have smtp server that waits before accepting email
2.try to send using that smtp server


Actual Results:  
CPU takes 80% all the time while waiting for the server to respond

Expected Results:  
take close to 0% CPU

Ok, I've downloaded 1.1a1 and it does not have this problem. The reason might be
the progress bar (as suggested by comment #1 bug 279465) because it does not do
any animation in this version.
