Emacs periodically saves all files that you are visiting; this is called
auto-saving . Auto-saving prevents you from losing more than a limited
amount of work if the system crashes. By default, auto-saves happen every
300 keystrokes, or after around 30 seconds of idle time.
Suggest you try making your auto-save-interval variable much larger and see
if that helps
Also suggest making smaller .org files when practical
