[comp.sys.sgi] Iconized EMACS loads the system

Hello,
 Some time ago I have noticed that when I iconize the Unipress Emacs
 the system's load average (as indicated by xload and sysmonitor)
 goes excetly up to 1. When I re-open emacs the load average drops
 back to zero.

 It doesn't happen with other programs (GNU Emacs, or the wsh) and no
 other program is running during that period. Also no cpu time is
 added to the process and also there is no effect on gr_osview (it stays
 completly idle, except from the iconize and de-iconize operations of
 course).

 I'm running version 3.2.2 on PI/Super (25) and Entry (20).

 Any clues why it happens?

Thanks,
Amos Shapira
