Public bug reported:

I'm using Thunderbird 11.0 from Mozilla (not the repositories) so that I
can share a profile with other installations.

Just over the last few days, if I start Thunderbird as soon as I've
logged into Precise, xorg starts hogging CPU. Top shows over 90% in use,
and the system becomes very sluggish. The only cure seems to be either
rebooting or (simpler) logging out and in again. Sometimes I have to
kill the Xserver instead of logging out.

Waiting for a little while (say, a minute) before launching Thunderbird
seems to solve the problem.
