I've just left audacity 1.2.3 running on a P4 with 512MB ram for 2 hours
19 mins with no problems, it was still recording when I came back and
saved the project fine. Unless you have temp files on one partition and
save to another drive saving shouldn't be a slow process - all that has to
be done are some file moves (very quick) and the write to disk of the
project file (420kB so quite trivial).

Does anyone else on the devel list know what was fixed from 1.2.1 where
there was a very common bug like this?
