Unfortunately, this problem destroyed one my important archive today :-(

A 20-megabyte archive that in Emacs 22 opens within 1 sec, in Emacs 23
froze for several minutes, so I was forced to interrupt its visiting
with C-g.  After that, I run a compilation process in another buffer,
that started to automatically save the archive's buffer that was
marked as modified.  As a result, the archive file was corrupted
by this automatic saving.
