Also witnessing the problem. I guess so few people noticed it is that it might be somehow associated to users who have several email accounts configured (I have 11 accounts configured in my TB profile).

Opening the activity window shows that a lot (and probably too many) of sync operations are being performed at the same time. Is there a setting that defines the number of synchronizations that TB can perform simultaneously?

I suspect it to be the main reason why my laptop battery gets drained in less than 2:00...whereas on Windows (also with TB running) the battery can handle 4:00 easily.
