Can you be more specific?
Try it with "emacs -q" first. If the problem disappears, then try and see
which part of your .emacs triggers the problem.
Then when Emacs seems to hang, does C-g interrupt it? If yes, set
Options -> Enter Debugger on Quit/C-g, try again, and post the (hopefully)
resulting backtrace.
If C-g doesn't help, then run your Emacs under a debugger (like gdb)
and when Emacs hangs, interrupt it in the debugger and look at
the backtrace. My wild guess in that case is that it's stuck in
a looooonnnng regexp-match. You can figure out which regexp by going up the
stack and inspecting the "regexp" argument (using the `xstring' command
if you're under gdb).
