Weird. I have Thunderbird 1.5.0.9 running on FC6 on my work laptop
(1.5Ghz Pentium M), accessing two IMAP accounts, and it's not usually
visible anywhere in top (30+ lines) unless it's checking mail.

After running for about an hour:
  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
 3038 bryanf    16   0  167m  38m  19m S  0.3  7.6   0:17.06 thunderbird-bin
