I also have removed this wait in my local copy of org-mode. I use org-crypt for one subtree in each of my org files which contains passwords and other sensitive data. I rarely decrypt these entries so leaving auto save on for my use case isn't much of a security issue for me. I tend to decrypt the entry, look up the detail I need, and then resave the file which reencrypts the entry immediately. Just my 2 cents :) -- Bernt
