I have a very large XML document, about 6.5 MB, extracted from a corruped Word document. Performing a moderately complex RegEx search and replace takes a very long time. That is unsurprising, but it also performs a save before it completes the Replace All operation. This is highly annoying because Undo does not work after the document is saved. Therefore there is no way to restore the unedited document.

  After noticing this problem, I created a new document and filled it with many paragraphs of the same text (about 100,000 lines). Long-running Replace All operations still performed the save. 

  Another problem I noticed with the first document is that the Replace All operation often failed silently and simply deleted all but the first 25,000 lines or so. Of course, this deletion was also saved to disk. I have not been able to replicate this issue with the new document.
