This was running on the software engine, the issue doesn't seem to exist on the hardware engine

i can't reproduce... using thunderbird etc...

if thunderbird is updating its window all the time then this would happen... and that would be the most logical reason for this to happen... as to update sw has to grab the pixels from x (copy them from xserver to client) and that is not free... :)

If you trigger this with EINA_LOG_LEVELS=e:4 E_RENDER_DEBUG=1 you'll probably get a log spam which will be useful in determining what's happening.
