Dear Readers,

To those of you who responded to my request for help I'd like to give
my thanks. Within half an hour I'd received at least four replies. I'm
sure this is better than one could expect from a commercial helpdesk.

I've implemented roughly what is given below. This has succeeded in
keeping a tight rein on emacs. Even at its worst, it now doesn't seem
to be able to climb much past 30Meg. And, once its been at this level
for a while, it isn't able to absorb much more than about 65% CPU. The
upshot is that I'm left plenty of room to move, other programmes still
respond, and I can easily kill emacs without having to switch over to
root.

Many regards,

 Richard Mahoney
