The autosave function in Nuke runs on the main application thread. I’m not
sure exactly why but when the Nuke files get in the 20 meg range
the Windows version has always had a considerable lag over the network
doing autosaves then linux or osx.

A few ways to combat this:
1. set your autosave to not be as often(every 360+ sec instead of every
30).

2. Explicitly set the expression for your autosave to a folder on your
local machine instead of the network.  By default it always saves to the
same location of the nuke file.  The really annoying thing with this
solution is when your Nuke crashes and you open a file it won’t say “you
have a newer autosave, do you want to open it” because it is not being
saved in the same location as the original file anymore.  So you have to
manually open the autosave.  So not a great solution but it definately gets
rid of that lag every 30 seconds with large scripts.

3. If you have a cameraTracker, pointCloudGenerator, PoissonMesh, or even
large sets of roto or any other nodes which makes really big Nuke files.
 Take it and make those nodes into a nuke precomp (other > Precomp).  Then
the large part of your script will be a separate referenced nuke script and
not making your file size blow up.  The referenced precomp will not be
constantly autosaving.  If you have a heavy piece of geo from the
PointCloudGenerator then write it out as an Alembic file and read it back
in.
