Hi, Tom. Does this happen when you are busy typing, hit delete,
and things freeze? Or when you have paused for a little bit, maybe
looking at what you typed, then hit delete?

One reason for the difference between those is what might be
run as from an idle timer, if in fact Aquamacs is going idle.

You can see the list of idle timers by looking at the variable timer-list
(say, with M-x describe-variable or inside IELM).
