It is generating reams of network traffic that apparently has nothing to do with graphics. I'm beginning to think that from the responses I've received, I'm asking in the wrong place. I also think this is a bug which is why it's cross-posted to the emacs bugs list. If anyone knows why this is happening, and especially how to stop it, I'd be indebted.
