I checked out and installed from master (at
294a5246b264441d436612d4de0dd89fad130aa3).
I still see 100% cpu usage in emacs.
What I did:
In one terminal I run 'emacs' from my home directory, and I don't open any
files.
In another terminal, again while in the home directory, I run 'cat
/dev/zero > zed'.
Emacs cpu usage spikes to 100%.
