This sounds a bit off-topic for this list since it's clearly a hardware
issue. While it's possible that Cygwin's XEmacs works your processor more
than other programs you're using, the fact that it may cause your machine
to get overly hot is a factor of the hardware, not the software. If this
is really a concern for you, you'll want to contact your hardware
manufacturer to see if they can help get your machine to run cooler.
