Just downloaded version 3.3.2 from 
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/gcc/
and xemacs still sits at about 18% cpu, although interactive appears to 
be more fluent with this version,
especially selecting stuff with the mouse.

PS: From that ftp directory, you also get versions 4.0.0 and 4.2.0.
    The following website has binaries for 4.2.3 and 4.2.2:
