As always great advice from Jude DaSheill:
In Emacs you can set the auto-save-interval SETQ to whatever you want;
suggest you increase that number of interval of keystrokes required before
an auto-save or maybe just turn off auto-saving altogether--if things start
to slow down
If you do try Linux
You can put it anywhere you like--you can even have as many as you want:
$ emacs -l /somedirectory/init1.el -l /someotherdirectory/init2.el
Realize the default "init.el" is actually ~/.emacs so just ensure that your
init.el file(s) don't conflict with it and/or throw the "-q" switch which
ignores
