Comparing
$ strace emacs
vs.
$ strace vi
one finds emacs never sleeps. Lots of gettimeofday calls.
And I thought all it needed to do was keep count of auto-save-interval
events. Yes, emacs isn't making a blip on my CPU meter, but still I
bet it is doing something that miserly me probably doesn't need it to do.
