When starting up THunderbird (especially when there is a lot of processing syncing due to IMAP updates) I see a lot of activitiy of QuickFolders updating its tabs / menus within a short time. I suspect that this may have some impact on performance. We need to add some metrics on how long this actually takes but there are definitely multiple calls within a window of 5 seconds. Here is a collation of all calls within the startup window. there may be some scope for improvement.
