Re: Latest emacs snapshots max CPU on XP

[Chris McMahan]

I found the problem!!

After commenting and uncommenting various pieces of my various
configuration files (many MANY configuration files :)

The CPU hog was the CEDET library I was using for my ECB installation.
Apparently the semantic parser was going wild with the new version.
I've disabled the CEDET and ECB packages until I can track down the
actual culprit. There's been no update for some time in CEDET, so I
may look for alternatives for java programming.

In the meantime, I'm switching from gnuserv to emacsclient. Thanks for
all of your help!
