With my data file savings takes more than 20 seconds, I agree with Bill,
we need a control on idle gnucash time.

I try to suggest an alternative, too. The developers say that during the
saving process gnucash can't permit data change. My suggestion is to
perform the saving in these steps:

1. save to memory a copy of the data file (gnucash doesn't permit data
entry) - fast operation, should't interfere with data entry
2. return the user the permission to enter data
3. save to disk the copy

What about implementing this schema for all saving operation?
