Hi Howard That makes sense. I'm in contact with the TWEdit developer and our plan is to support tiddler-level sync as an alternative to saving the entire document. It's partly in response to your findings about iOS7 unceremoniously closing apps: we really need autosave to protect ourselves, and yet as you've found autosave with a large TW can be slow.
