Lightning

Using the Lightning add-on caused my Thunderbird to slow and grind to a halt very frequently. I think that the add-on was checking for calendar updates and syncing, but in doing so, it made my email program completely unusable while it dithered about.
This seems like a terrible design. Updating the synced calendars should be something that runs in the background, not something that takes over the whole program and causes Thunderbird to be unusable for minutes at a time.
Bad job, mozilla. I want thunderbird to always be an email program, not a program that waits for calendar syncs.
I have disabled the lightning add-on because this kind of monopolization of resources is unacceptable.
