iCal feeds make Thunderbird (Lightning) hang with 100% CPU

This is similar to the issue with Google Calendar's use of Remember The Milk's iCal feeds:

On my computer, when I give Lightning my iCal feeds (one each for inbox, personal, and work), it hangs and devours 100% of one CPU core for a good ~50 seconds every time it reloads the remote calendars. I can't imagine Google allowing that sort of cpu-devouring behavior on their servers -- that'd explain why the sync "times out".
I've used Lightning with plenty of other Google and iCal calendars, and I've never had any others behave quite as badly as RTM's feeds. If, as mentioned in the other thread, RTM is indeed giving thousands of Daylight-Savings Time descriptions back into the 1900s, that would explain the cpu-devouring behavior.
What else is weird is that the iCal feed actually allows Thunderbird to "create" tasks... and yet they never appear on the other end. I'd expect it to either totally work, or not allow you to try at all!

Correction: it looks like Google isn't necessarily "timing out" for everyone, if the other thread is correct. The issue with Lightning still stands, though.
Also, why is there no "edit" feature on these forums?
