Periodically, emacs will pause - often with the Windows hourglass. It does accept my keystrokes, because when it "releases" they appear in the current buffer. These pauses last about 3 seconds, and I would not characterize them as variable in length. I have not found any systematic way of inducing the pause, but they happen pretty frequently during a C-x C-s sequence. I have experienced this on both Windows XP 32-bit and Windows Vista 64-bit, on two separate machines (both Dells, and their only commonality is that they both use an Intel X-25M SSD). My question is not necessarily "what is causing this", as I understand that my description is very hand-wavey. However, if someone can tell me what to check for, or how one would go about troubleshooting this behavior, I will do my best to help me help you help me. :-) I have already tried starting `emacs.exe -q --no-site-file` to ensure it isn't some local configuration problem. =A0Any insight will be greatly appreciated, =A0-- /v\atthew p.s. please excuse this if it sends twice, I didn't have any luck the first time I tried to send it.
