I upgraded our internal machines from 20.7 to 21.2 recently.  Most of our
development machines are on the other end of a 6 mbit link, and boy is
emacs 21.2 slooooooow.  A couple developers abandoned it for the older version.

It works fine across our local 100 mbit network, so it does look to me like
21.2 is a network hog.
