Thanks, Markus. I can only find one other instance of the default value:

double autoSaveMinutes = 5.0;   (line 3366, Project.cpp). 

Does that sound right/OK to you? 

It seems to be working fine for me with the above and the following
value in DirectoriesPrefs.cpp set to "2.0":

S.TieTextBox( _("Auto save interval:"), wxT("/Directories/AutoSaveMinutes"),
2.0, 9);
