Windows 10 baffles me; I have no idea patches are being installed or downloaded in the background. Ever since my Emacs slowdown to 60+ seconds from the usual 6-8 seconds, I've noticed random Emacs slowdown in terms of navigation of buffers and typing text. The system load which is usually around 0.3-0.5 on the modeline would show something like 3.1 to 4.8, just for typing some text. Leaving Emacs alone for sometime solves the lag issue or a restart of Emacs also does work. And if the problem persists I do a reboot. All this with no or little change to the .Emacs file or installation of any new package sivaram --
