Not so, I only have a 266 with 224 M RAM, and don't find emacs a drain.
Sometimes when I've had the same large file open for about five days or
more emacs can get a bit sluggish, but closing it and opening it again
solves the problem.   I'm not even sure that this is an emacs problem, 
it could well be Netscape, as when this problem occurs I tend to shut 
all open windows and restart X.
