There seems to be.
On my Fedora Core 5 machine, emacs compiled with the Lucid toolkit
doing:
emacs -D -Q&
strace -p PID_OF_EMACS
Prints things like this a few times a second:
gettimeofday({1157213370, 605043}, NULL) = 0
select(5, [4], NULL, NULL, {25, 670718}) = ? ERESTARTNOHAND (To be restarted)
--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) @ 0 (0) ---
gettimeofday({1157213370, 708405}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1157213370, 708534}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1157213370, 708662}, NULL) = 0
setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={0, 99743}}, NULL) = 0
sigreturn() = ? (mask now [])
gettimeofday({1157213370, 709043}, NULL) = 0
select(5, [4], NULL, NULL, {25, 566718}) = ? ERESTARTNOHAND (To be restarted)
--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) @ 0 (0) ---
gettimeofday({1157213370, 812405}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1157213370, 812535}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1157213370, 812663}, NULL) = 0
setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={0, 99742}}, NULL) = 0
sigreturn() = ? (mask now [])
....
so there is some activity all the time. Is this something that can be
avoided?
