Am I the only one seeing performance problems in the latest 20.1
betas?  I timed it yesterday, and on my system it took over 15 seconds 
for XEmacs to display a line of text that I typed in an outgoing
e-mail buffer (in VM 6.22).  This is built on an UntraSparc 140 with
gcc 2.7.2 and X11R6.3.

Running a truss doesn't show anything too interesting, except that it
is making hundreds of calls to getcontext().  Is this normal?  Just
moving the pointer in and back out of the XEmacs window just caused
417 calls to getcontext in an idle XEmacs process!

Does anyone have any ideas what could be going on?
