I have a large file also, going back to the early 1990s.  However for me,
every time MD makes a backup in the background, the program freezes for 15
or 20 seconds while it's writing and/or encrypting the file.  Extremely
annoying.

I'm on Windows with (obviously) encryption and autosave turned on.  What is
everyone else running such that they're not getting these pauses?
