Try it again in a full screen window and give us the entire page of output. We do get _some_ information from what you provided: You have a lot of processes running. Do you really need them all? The CPU is booked to the max with user processes (user applications). But you do have enough swap. Having more physical memory would help things run faster. Normally a gig should be enough, but maybe you're running some memory-heavy stuff. You could also make emacs run faster and smaller by byte-compiling relevant *.el files. hth, ken At 17:08 (UTC-0700) on Tue, 9 Dec 2003 Michelle Roderick said: = Is this what you wanted to see? = = load averages: 0.88, 0.35, 0.23 = 01:00:02 = 161 processes: 158 sleeping, 1 running, 1 stopped, 1 on cpu = CPU states: 0.0% idle, 99.4% user, 0.6% kernel, 0.0% iowait, 0.0% swap = Memory: 1024M real, 473M free, 479M swap in use, 6422M swap free = = wrote in message = news:mailman.1364.1070916279.399.help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org... = > = > I've used emacs for files much larger than 450k-- files up to several = > megs-- and never had such a lock-up.
