I had similar problems using the official Gnu Emacs release on Windows
Vista, using an HP EliteBook. The program would freeze up periodically,
not responding to anything for several seconds at a time. This happened
often enough (once every few minutes or so) to make it unusable. Same
thing with the version shipped with Cygwin.
I switched to the version packaged by Vincent Goulet, and now everything
works very smoothly. I'm not sure what he does, but it fixed my problem.
