nylas-mail: Super high CPU usage for 'Nylas Mail Helper'
Seeing very high CPU usage for ‘Nylas Mail Helper’ on OSX 10.11.2. See screenshot.
Consistently at 80%+, frequently bursting to <100% and bursting over at startup. Makes computer virtually unusable.
Think this is a renamed Electron Helper and to check, I have quit and restarted (the OS and apps) any other current running Electron apps (e.g Slack). It has no effect.
Are there any related issues?

Nylas Mail is designed to sync recent mails first and also prioritize you Inbox folder. After that, it will sync older messages.
I had to remove Nylas since the app and Mac were not responding. I don’t see the point of syncing all emails and not only the most recent ones as IMAP does. Syncing will take forever…
Same experience as @Joe8Bit. Sync seems to have completed, but still hitting 90% CPU usage spikes. Already sold on Nylas though:)
Currently have 25,000 messages (+/-) across two mailboxes. Unread count <20 across both.
