/Applications/Emacs23.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q
eval: (require 'ido) (ido-mode t)
C-x C-f newfi

ido says "Searching for 'newfi'...." and hangs if there is no  
"newfile" in the current directory.

It does seem to eventually come back, but it is a few minutes.  It  
uses substantial cpu cycles, and there appears to be a fair bit of  
data being read from disk. When it comes back it has sometimes found a  
suitable suggestion in another directory.  Thats nice, but I can't  
interrupt the search to type the proper name in.  ido on Emacs 22  
seems fine.

Please let me know how else I can help debug this.

Cheers,  Jody
