This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give
a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':

---------

Upgraded from emacs 22.3 to 23.2.1 on Windows XP SP 3, using pre-built 
binaries from ftp.gnu.org. I've found that emacs is frequently 
unresponsive, would hang for several seconds during routine operations, 
including auto-save, etc. Did some searching, and found that default 
setting for w32-get-true-file-attributes had changed, so I reverted that 
back to nil -- this helped.

Now, at best, opening files takes about 1-2 seconds, which is 
acceptable. But sometimes, it still takes 6-8 seconds to open files. 
I've confirmed there is no CPU usage during this time, and Process 
Monitor does not show enough specific information to determine whether 
it's an I/O call it's hanging on, or what I/O call that is. Ctrl-G is 
unresponsive and doesn't act until after control resumes. I can 
reproduce this even with no startup files, and it happens just as often.

It APPEARED for a while that turning off font-lock-mode globally helped, 
but I think that may be a red herring. When turning it off, the first 
few file opens would usually go quickly, but after that, opening a file 
from a new location would bring back the 6-8 second hang. Not EVERY file 
opens this slowly, but enough do that it definitely interrupts the work 
flow.

All of my operations are happening locally, and not on a network drive. 
I have a network drive defined, but even when the drive is not mounted, 
the hangs still occur.

I have AV software installed, but can't disable it (due to corporate 
settings) -- however, I haven't seen this problem manifest in any other 
program, so I'm hesitant to blame that.

I am working on testing with another machine to see if I can reproduce, 
but advice on key differences to look for would be helpful.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file
c:/emacs/etc/DEBUG.
