Because the OOo <2.0 way is to overwrite the current file, which can be
mighty annoying

The OO. >2.0 way will save it in a temp file, and then only will it
write it to a current file the moment you hit Save

Now, my argument over traffic - if you're dealing w/large documents in a
large environment (think a university lab), you're getting quite a lot
of traffic with autosaves turned on. Also, those USB thumb drive things
might not appreciate being written to so often (speculation here)
