Disk spin-up on laaptops comes to mind. The longer the intervals the
longer bettery (and disk!) life.
That is a valid argument. So I guess it makes sense to have a certain
minimum time between saves, as well as a certain maximum time.
The minimum time could be implemented by a real time timer
which activates the idle timer. The maximum time could be implemented
by another real time timer which directly causes a save.
When a save happens it should reinitialize all the timers
That argument applies to any auto-save, not just desktop. I'm trying to work
out why one would want one interval for auto-save and another for desktop
save.
That is true. Should we have this feature for auto-saves too?
