Thunderbird freezes for seconds at a time many times a day
My platform is CentOS 7.2, Thunderbird 38.5.0.
Thunderbird generally works pretty well for me, but I find that it will suddenly freeze for several seconds at a time, many times a day. This of course happens while I'm entering the content for a message. It just completely stops taking any input for several seconds, and then comes back.
If it matters, I recently cleaned out thousands of old messages. I have no idea whether that's relevant. I did notice some old articles that talked about issues like this, but the troubleshooting instructions didn't appear to match my version of Thunderbird.

Hi dkarr - it's rare that we see a centos user here. But it's good to see. :)
Do you have the lightning addon enabled for calendar capabilities?
(I noticed that the email I received from this is somewhat useless. There is no "view this in web site", so I had to navigate manually to it so I could send a reply to this.)
Yeah, the CentOS thing was probably somewhat misguided. I probably would have had fewer struggles if I imaged it with Ubuntu. I will still press on, however.
Yes, I do have Lightning enabled. I don't really use the calendaring feature, so I suppose I could disable that if that's a potential performance problem.

If you have View | Message body as | original html then ou should see a structured email like the screen shot I attached

Start with removing it. Does that help?

It's already set that way. I don't see the point of that. The email comes from a "noreply" email, and there is no "view in web browser" link, so the only way I can reply to your reply is to manually go to my web browser, navigate to this site, and find the posting.

I'll disable it, but of course it will take a while before I'll be able to tell whether it makes a difference.
(Even right after restarting I think it probably doesn't make a difference. It froze for a couple of seconds twice in the first minute or so.)
