[Discuss] emacs-lucid update (I mean "upgrade", as I am on Debian)

[Kent Borg]

Seeing I had a new version of emacs I bit the bullet and quit my old 
sessions. And also rebooted, why not?

Something I have never noticed before: When I ran emacs again it pegged 
a couple of cores at 100%, for a decent amount of time, worrying me. But 
then it stopped. :whew: I restarted emacs anyway, just to be safe, have 
a clean start.

On a different machine, before quitting I stopped to notice there was an 
interestingly named buffer:

   *Async-native-compile-log*

Huh. Emacs jumped on the async bandwagon??

P.S. I also had recently configured screen (where I usually run emacs) 
to do its lockscreen. But how stupid. It is really more of a "lock 
terminal", it doesn't require a password to reattach to a screen 
session, which was my whole motivation, I sometimes have a root shell 
persisting inside screen. Grrr.
