Hi,
I am running emacs 19.31 on a DEC Alpha system running DEC Unix V3.2C (but I
saw the same problem with emacs 19.29). The problem occurs when I run it from
the console; it works fine from X terminals.
All the functionality seems to be present, but the emacs process and the
Xserver burn up CPU time in huge quantities (1.5 CPUs on a 2100 4/233), even
when not doing anything useful. There is no lack of responsiveness for the
emacs user, but this behaviour is clearly anti-social.
Has anyone else seen anything like this ? Even if you don't have a solution it
would be useful to hear so that I get an idea of whether to blame emacs or
the Xserver.
Thanks,
Will Flett
