Same here. I had my 2.3Ghz dual core Macbook Pro nicked and had to 
revert to a similar spec Lenovo T61 on which I installed Ubuntu 13.04. 
Considering the price of replacing the Macbook Pro, I toyed with the 
idea of buying a Thinkpad and switching to Ubunutu but the abysmal 
performance of Ubuntu put paid to that fantasy. Compiz and Thunderbird 
were the main cpu hogs. I tried throttling TB with cpulimit but that 
made it unusable.

I use Thunderbird on Mac OS X and don't experience anything like this. 
It does hog the CPU but when it does the system is still usable, unlike 
Ubuntu, and I was under the impression that Linux resource management 
was superior to OS X.
