tlug: Emacs these days

[Peter Linsley <plinsley@example.com>]

Hello All,

Am I the only one who finds that GNU Emacs 20.3.1 is just
too heavy for everyday usage on your standard 166MHz/32MB 
AT compatible? 

I am one of those people who is at a loss without Emacs 
but wanted some of the newer features in GNU Emacs that
the good old MULE was not keeping up with; XEmacs was 
just way too slow. Hence the migration from MULE.

Any tips for improving on performance? I often find myself
sitting waiting for Emacs to finish it's garbage collection
or whatever before it will even consider to process my 
keystrokes.

BTW, I'm running RH-5.2 and did compile the international 
stuff into Emacs.

Regards,

Pete
