You could truss the process or do something else to find out what Thunderbird and Dovecot are talking to each others. If shutting down Thunderbird dropped the load, it sounds like a bug in Thunderbird. Some clients have been known to keep requesting same data over and over again from the server in some situations. If I could see what the IMAP traffic looks like, I might be able to add a workaround to it.
