Thunderbird 115.16.3 still painfully slow checking my Gmail accounts and downloading messages

I have finally decided to take a chance on upgrading TB from version 115.10.1 to 115.16.3 hoping that this would fix the huge delays and getting hung up checking my Gmail accounts but apparently not. Is there any hope or any answers?

If you still had trouble and have Windows 10 or newer, then version 128.

I use Windows 7, but as an update, TB version 115.16.3 does appear to have less delays accessing my gmail accounts than the older version. It seems that rebooting my computer after the update may have improved the performance. It does hang a bit on one account or another from time to time, but not nearly as bad as the old version. Strangely, the older version didn't hang nearly is much in the past, it got progressively worse over the past several months it seems. Nonetheless things are better now.
