HI,
    When I run IOTOP, the first column is TID, what is TID? This display is showing in excess of 50 entries for Thunderbird where all of them have a unique TID value, is Thunderbird really starting that many threads?

Thanks Will, that is what I thought it might be.
It still begs the question with what it is showing, with me running the upstream daily version of Thunderbird, is it really starting the 50 - 60 threads that iotop is showing?
