So I work on porting some latex related stuff that works only on cygwin to native XEmacs. I wouldn't do that but I am afraid not to fry my laptop.

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.
