big slowdown from Emacs

[cread@jump.net ( )]

[Please email responses to me, as I am not

After I run VM and GNUS, Emacs sometimes
will "hang" for several seconds - but I
don't think it is garbage-collecting.

`top' shows Emacs hogging about 80% of the
CPU, which looks way too much.

Any clues?

Could this problem stem from Linux's looking
for non-existent devices?

Thanks.
