This ps was run at a time when emacs had been idle for at least 10 minutes.
The buffer list looks like this:
MR Buffer Size Mode File
-- ------ ---- ---- ----
. *scratch* 0 Text
OLC17007.2 853 Text /tmp/OLC17007.2
*Buffer List* 0 Buffer Menu
Once I did something in emacs (in this case, get the buffer list) it
promptly stopped chewing up CPU time.
My .emacs is barely configured. You should be able to take a look at it if
you like.
