Is it that bad then? I haven't had any crashes myself...heard grumblings, but wasn't sure how isolated it was.

Well, from the symptoms you're describing, it sounds like we're talking about save file corruption - as in crashing mid-write. The second plugin to write the files without the delay wouldn't really solve that problem.

Seems like the only real solution for that is to do something like what Garan does in Alt Inventory - save multiple (at least two) rotated snapshots of the data. That way, if the current one becomes corrupted, at least you don't lose everything. I'll probably do that...though if I do, I may just implement the second plugin at the same time.
