Could any of you point me to instructions to get Ubuntu to limit or choke the demand that the Thunderbird process calls upon the CPU?

Sounds like a job for control groups to me.. http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroups/cgroups.txt The cpu subsystem is likely what you want. Check to see if the cgroup-bin package is available in 10.04 (it is in 12.04) as that may make things easier (no guarantees, I've never touched that part of it).
