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?
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?
I don't use Thunderbird but I'd guess it's just the application architecture: https://www.ghacks.net/2021/01/23/thunderbird-will-use-multiple-processes-in-the-future/
How many 'thunderbird' processes is ps showing?
For example, using Firefox for comparison, I have 3 windows open, 7 tabs in total and:
[wmcdonald@fedora ~ ]$ ps -ef | grep [f]irefox | wc -l
22
22
You could go try and figure out what each of those threads is doing with strace or core dumps, maybe go read through some of the upstream project lists and/or issues?
Other than 'why are there loads of these' is there a problem? pstree might give you more of an inkling as to how they're being created/consumed.
