I'm sorry for your trouble, but please note that EmacsW32 is development code, not an officially released version of Emacs. At different points in the development cycle, it is quite possible that changes are committed to the repository that slow down Emacs. That's the risk you take when you want to use the bleeding edge. You may have better luck with the official version 22.2 released a few months ago. It is available from the GNU FTP site. > I'll try the Cygwin version for now... I urge you to search the Cygwin list for relevant information before you make that decision: AFAIK, the Cygwin version suffers from serious stability issues (which is not surprising, given that no one stepped forward to maintain it and actively participate in Emacs development).
