Emacs 21/X11 generating unbelieveable network traffic

[David Abrahams]

As you can see from

I've been trying to figure out why starting Emacs 21 on a remote machine
seems so painful. It is  generating reams of network traffic that apparently
has nothing to do with graphics. I'm beginning to think that from the
responses I've received, I'm asking in the wrong place. I also think this is
a bug which is why it's cross-posted to the emacs bugs list. If anyone knows
why this is happening, and especially how to stop it, I'd be indebted.

Thanks,
Dave
