If you are using a high-footprint synthesizer or one that depends on SAPI5, that could have something to do with it. I am running Thunderbird on three machines with typing echo on and am not experiencing any latency.

I’m only noticing it in Thunderbird, even when I have other apps closed. The latency in applications like word, etc., is pretty nonexistent no matter how many processes are open. But the latency is always there and Thunderbird.

I'm very skeptical that that will help.  If the computer were being used to that extent by processses, the whole computer would be intolerably slow.  This problem isn't complained of in other programs.  there is no reason to believe, based on what has been said and not said, that this is a general problem.

Hi All,

Try booting your computer.  Start NVDA.  Kill any unnecessary
processes from Task Manager (Acrobat, Dropbox, iTunes, etc), and then
launch TB.  Chances are there won't be a lag.

Start up the apps you can't live without one by one, and as soon as TB
lags, you'll know who the culprit is.

HTH!
