I agree that making Leo do autosave smoothly every few seconds or at least often could be hard. I certainly wouldn't want it to freeze for a short (or sometimes longer) time while it saved.
OTOH, I'm never sure I really want autosave. I've had plenty of times where I don't save on purpose since I suspect I might want to revert what I'm trying out. When that's not the case, It's easy enough to save, which I tend to do by reflex, probably left over from Windows 95 and Windows 2000 days (remember them?).
