The only machine on which I've used Emacs seriously is our brand new
IBM RS/6000-320, so I'm not sure if this is an Emacs problem or an IBM
problem... when I start up Emacs the cursor scrolls in any direction
smoothly - ie when I hold down up-arrow, the cursor passes over each 
character as it moves up.  After Emacs has been running for 20-30 minutes,
the cursor starts to jump over characters, until eventually it won't update
its position until I release the key.

This makes it impossible to keep track of the position of the cursor
if I move in any direction, and I end up killing off the session and starting
it up again to get another 20-30 minutes of smooth cursor movement...

Does this sound familiar?  Does anyone have a fix?

Thanks much,

Marc
