A vision of a multi-threaded Emacs

As a third party in this conversation, and someone who uses emacs daily - I/O hangs seem to be something that is a pretty frequent issue for users.

My emacs likes to crash sometimes, usually a few times a week. Hopefully I’ll be able to take some time to bisect my config and see what’s going on. Looks like a memory leak.

To add to this, my Emacs never crashes but at least once a week I'll run an innocent command (sometimes just opening magit) and it will become unresponsive indefinitely, with the only way of closing it being sending a kill command from the terminal.

If your emacs freezes, you can often recover it by sending the USR2 signal. When it receives this signal, Emacs will drop in the debugger.
