In the past, Thunderbird would freeze temporarily while waiting to obtain a GPG key or to load some graphics. However in Thunderbird 3.04 on Fedora 13 (x86_64) I'm seeing some issues where the screen goes dark, even while I am composing. After a short while, it cathes up. My system is an x86_64 system with 6GB RAM and an AMD quad core processor. I have 2 sources I get email from, (1) gmail via IMAP, (2) my ISP via POP. AFAIK, Thunderbird downloads new email in the background, and has not affected the performance. What is annoying is that this freeze occurs while composing email, so that the other things, like waiting for a GPG key to be downloaded or waiting for a very large email body to display is not in play. I'm looking to see if anyone else is experiencing similar issues for corroboration purposes. For instance, I encountered it this morning before leaving for work. My system was relatively idle with firefox and Gnome-terminal running. I think I had about 3 relatively non-dynamic websites on firefox at the time. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@xxxxxxx> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB CA3B 4607 4319 537C 5846
