You can set gfx.webrender.software to true to disable hardware WebRender and enable software WebRender instead. Please try this instead of using an e-mail client with security vulnerabities (since Thunderbird 91 won't receive any further security update we have to assume that Thunderbird 91 is insecure now).

Perhaps it's not actually realted to webrender, I just assumed that
because disabling it solved problems in the past. I use the drivers
built into the kernel and I am on a 5.18 kernel. There were no
differences in performance with software mode, so it could very well not
be related to webrender.

It seems that the high CPU usage and slow UI update is worse when the
message list is big and the window is big. If I make it that only 10
rows are visible, it seems to be faster. Here is a profile of the mouse
moving around a large message list. https://share.firefox.dev/3y3PfU2
