I've been trying to do this, but it's hard. The problem is that Emacs
slowsdown and I have to keep typing until eventually it hangs. That can
take a long time during which I have an unusable emacs, with garabled
words and missing letters. And sometimes it doesn't hang.
Is there anything else that I can do debugging wise does not involve
waiting for a total hang?
