I am still seeing a big delay when auto-completing (longer then it used
to take), but it's when LDAP is on.  The issue reported above with
seeing a delay with LDAP off turns out to be a configuration error on my
part.  There are two places to configure LDAP in Thunderbird.  One in
the account settings and one in Preferences.  I had the 'Use a different
LDAP server' option selected which means the settings in Preferences are
overridden.  So LDAP was on even though it was off in Preferences.  With
LDAP off, auto-completion occurs right away.

Title:
  Thunderbird hangs for 10secs when auto-completing address

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Confirmed
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

  This bug seems to be very old, but somehow I didn't find it in
  Launchpad - forgive me if  it's a dupe.

  When composing a new mail, I start typing a few letters into the address bar of the Thunderbird composer windows, and TB tries to autocomplete it from the address book.
  The drop-down menu appears, giving me the possibilities that start with the letters I typed, BUT - Thunderbird hangs (compiz darkens the window) for approx. 10 seconds - then it gets itself up again and processes complete normally, no errors, no wrong behaviour - and the address book searches are correct.

  First I thought it was the prefs.js, see
  http://kb.mozillazine.org/Long_time_to_open_address_book

  Funny thing is, that I NEVER had used Thunderbird 1.5 before - but I had about 50 lines with that "nonascii" in it.
  I deleted them, and gone was the problem, for a few days.
  TB worked normally.

  Then the problem reoccurred.
  Now my prefs.js is clean, and it still has the problem.
  It might have something to do with LDAP search as well - I first thought it has to do with that: I have a LDAP server on a openVPN network which is not always connected - and I thought the delay was a network timeout when TB searches for the LDAP and doesn't find it.
  But I now disabled the LDAP address search in Thunderbird, and the problem remains.
