The problem with saving changes or not is more general, not related only to pictures. If you use linked pictures and not embedded ones the document doesn't get a lot bigger and so any saving performance problems are not related to the images. This is different for embedded images, here it depends on how many images you have and how big they are. I agree that OOo Writer isn't an appropriate tool to create large image catalogs in case you embed the images and don't link them. So if you have a document with a lot of images and you have to save it quite often you should first link the images and if your have your document finished break the links and finally embed the pictures.
