Gee. Here I am messaging you on TB 3.0b4 on a x86_64 machine with TB 
3.0b4 x86_64 from updates-testing. Your message was in a folder with 
1367 other email messages. Indexing worked fine. I don't see any spikes 
in CPU or memory usage. No other bugs in b4 at the moment. It's the best 
version yet.

You might want to delete your .thunderbird directory and try again.
