add autosave timer

autosave interval is tuned based on the duration of saves.
Autosave will never happen more frequently than every 30 seconds,
and if saves take more than 3 seconds, autosave will fire every 10x the duration of the save (i.e. if save takes 6 seconds, it will be every 60 seconds, etc.)
