OK. May be are right, and update agenda on buffer save or get used to
update it manually is better, but what are the main reasons not to
update agenda by buffer change (except performance)? Could you give me
a link to that discussion?

I think http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#sec-1-8-12 (refresh the
agenda view regularly) is more suitable. I see the only one reason for
regular agenda update --- keep "now" line up to date and run update
every minute. But how to synchronize this with minute start (zero second
of each minute)?

Via after-save-hook?
