I have also had slowdowns with running Emacs 21 when X is enabled. This happens when I try connecting to the remote machine using rxvt (shipped with Cygwin). Try switching your SSH client (for example use PUTTY's terminal window). I don't know what is causing the slowdowns in the case when I login using plink -ssh and then start Emacs as to using a separate terminal window. Maybe something to do with tty initialization. FWIW, I tried using the Windows command shell and it works like a charm. > 2. Wouldn't know how to use it if I could find it > 3. Wouldn't know how to interpret the results tcpdump is too much for this unless you want to get to the root of the problem. -kitty.
