Even with the patch we're discussing, the total number of snapshots
produced by people on sagenb.org in the last 20 hours is over 10,000:

s...@sagenb:~/sagenb$ ls -1 */worksheets/*/*/snapshots/*|wc -l
10395

So it really doesn't cut down on them very much.   Of course a lot of
people use sagenb.org, e.g., well over 100 distinct uses just
*yesterday*, and over 7200 registered users.

I also like the idea to reduce the total max number of autosaved to
some fixed number, e.g., 30.
