GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0, NS apple-
appkit-824.48)

I've been seeing this same problem for the last month since I compiled
and built emacs on my PowerBook G4 Mac + OS X 10.4.11.

The 'beachball' spins for a few seconds but then emacs works fine
immediately afterwards.
I *have*  tried Ctrl-G, but I don't think it helps: and I would not be
surprised... doesn't the beachball mean 'unresponsive'?

And it is annoyingly frequent :)

To add detail, I'd like to mention that in my case, while I haven't
noticed that this happens more often with C-x C-s.. Will keep an eye
out for this!
steps I use to compile:
0. cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co emacs
1. ./configure --prefix /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS --with-
ns --enable-ns-self-contained=yes --enable-cocoa-experimental-ctrl-
g=yes # NOT 'sure' that used the 'experimental-C-g' option on this
latest build!
2. edit Makefile to remove 'maybe-blessmail'
3. make bootstrap ; make ; sudo make install

I used to build Carbon Emacs up till a couple of months ago, and do
not recall this behaviour.
