Please try
$ strace firefox
$ strace emacs
Notice that after things settle, firefox gives the CPU or whatever
several seconds of rest between polling etc. activity, whilst emacs
causes a constant stream.
I notice when I exited emacs, my laptop fan soon was able to take rest
breaks. With an emacs running, even idle, the fan never stops!
(Well sometimes it never stops anyway (Celeron M, no power saving))
Can you please add an .emacs option allowing a different algorithm
than the current one.
Please customize `jit-lock-stealth-time' according to your needs.
It's probably the non-nil value here vs. your laptop fan.
