Very Computer

we just upgraded to our department server to a 690 MP machine (dual SM100)
and I am running Emacs 19.15 on it. But whenever it runs, the load average
jumps to >2 and mpstat shows 100% busy on both CPUs. Is that normal? The
emacs was compiled on a Solaris 2.2 single processor machine. I am
somewhat suprised at this. Maybe I am misinterpreting what the output
says. I have little experience with MP machines. The response time by
the way does seem to be degraded.

No, it's a bug. The current version of GNU Emacs is 19.25; you're ten
revisions out of date.
