Hi,

after hacking around in some C code for hours, I notice frequent periods
of 3-5 seconds, in which emacs is busy doing something else.  This is
very irritating.

Does someone have a guess, who the evildoer may be ?

debug-on-quit does not work.  My guess is, that it is related to some
timer.

Garbage collection?

To most people solutions mean finding the answers. But to chemists  
solutions
are things that are still all mixed up.

Set garbage-collection-messages non-nil, and see if you see any
messages during these periods of unresponsiveness.

Ok, I remember it for next time, since it is gone now , though it's the
same emacs session.
