Is anybody else seeing Thunderbird hang when you try to open the advanced configuration editor?

I don't know if this is related to your issue, but have you seen 

http://perfprotector.blogspot.com/2010/08/thunderbird-3-is-it-really-all-yours.html

It mentions two features/bugs <insert point of view> that seem to, at
least for the author, consume a lot of resources.

It would be interesting to see if following the page's suggestions fixed
your problem.  (Not running thunderbird, so no personal experience one
way or the other.)
