I have been trying to follow Richard's advice and stay in emacs
all the time, instead of using it as an external text editor only.
I find that during the workday, when the system is heavily loaded
with other users, that emacs frequently goes into long pauses
while I am working.  This especially happens while using the
terminal-emulator, and is not accompanied by a "Collecting 
Garbage" message.  When emacs does display, the "Collecting
Garbage" message, the pause is usually rather short.

Because of this problem, I have resorted to using emacs as an
external editor during times of heavy usage.  -David-
