Re: No atimers?

   Using the above test, the mouse pointer changes after something like
   half a second.

   I use "make bootstrap".  Not sure if that is relevant.

There is no difference whether I use "make bootstrap" or "make recompile".

In both circumstances, the mouse pointer
  -- does NOT change when I turn off blink-cursor-mode and
  -- DOES change when I set blink-cursor-mode to t (i.e., the cursor blinks).

Here are the commands I use.  Note that in all cases,    CC=gcc-3.0
and
    # gcc-3.0 --version
    3.0.4


;; ---------------------------------

;; for make recompile (in an Emacs owned by a non-privileged user)

     (progn
       (cd "/usr/local/src/emacs/")
       (compile
        "time make && cd lisp && \
         time CC=gcc-3.0 make recompile EMACS=/usr/local/src/emacs/src/emacs"))

;; for install (in an Emacs owned by root)

  (progn (cd "/usr/local/src/emacs/") (compile "CC=gcc-3.0 time make install"))

;; ---------------------------------

;; for make boostrap (in an Emacs owned by a non-privileged user)
     (progn
       (cd "/usr/local/src/emacs/")
       (compile
        "./configure --with-type1 --prefix=/usr/local --with-sound=yes \
          && CC=gcc-3.0 time make bootstrap"))

;; for install (in an Emacs owned by root)
;; (same expression as for `make recompile' install)

  (progn (cd "/usr/local/src/emacs/") (compile "CC=gcc-3.0 time make install"))

;; ---------------------------------


Here is the configuration info (same as my earlier report):

    today's Debian woody GNU/Linux system, updated 2002 Jul 16 16:04 UTC;
    using today's GNU Emacs CVS snapshot of 2002 Jul 16 15:53 UTC,
    GNU Emacs 21.3.50.104 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit).
