Thunderbird 2.0.0 is at 100% CPU for at least 50 secs (on a Pentium M 1.7GHz) when receiving large text emails (e.g. daily logwatch reports of about 550KB). Even with junk mail check turned off! I have reproduced it on 2 Windows XP machines. I am receiving mails via IMAP(s).

1. Click on mail
2. Wait for a minute while Thunderbird hangs at 100% CPU
3. Continue working

100% CPU for about a minute

Expected Results:  
Just load the mail and be done.

J.M. do you see this using newst version - 2.0.0.14?

Yeah of course.
And yes I have disabled Enigmail etc. to test.
I have also disabled the spelling checker.
I can see a large increase in memory usage during the hang of the application.
After that it goes slowly back to normal.

But I don't care anymore, I have reduced the verbosity of logwatch reports, so that solves my problem at least ;)
