Any update-heavy workload will tend to fill the in-memory stand, causing it to flush to disk. Likely your normal workload is light enough that the in-memory stand hits its idle timeout instead. I don't think there is a message associated with that timeout, so you would only see a "Saving..." message followed by a "Saved..." message for the new on-disk stand.
