I have a spreadsheet with 30'000 URL's and some numbers attached to them. When OpenOffice.org decides to autosave this beast it freezes for 30-40 seconds! Not matter what I use: Windows or Linux (I don't have Mac) it's VERY annoying.

You can say it's pretty big file, but still - it's just 500Kb .ods! Autosave is big problem for such files: without autosave you risk losing your work and with autosave you are losing significant productive time (30-40seconds every 15 minutes or so - that's 15min per day).
