Quicksave/Quickload times

[montyben101]

So for every ship or satellite that I place in orbit how much time will it add to the time taken to quicksave? It does take quite a time now to quicksave and quickload

My save file is about 5 megs big!

I believe the game is paused while saving so no game time should progress during quick save.

Trust me it takes a lot longer to quicksave with a big game file than with a small one, try it yourself

I believe the save process is just writing out the game information to disk, so it's pretty much determined by save file size.

The sum of your ships' part counts is the critical factor I think, as the savefile includes a complete description of each part in each ship. Ten 10-part ships would likely take less time to save than a single 200-part ship. (I haven't tested this, but it makes sense.)

One thing that i have always wondered is what happens when you move your ship after you have pressed the quick save button. Is it saved from exactly when the button is pressed or during the time that the text is on the screen.

When the button is pressed. Checked by starting quicksave 100 metres above ground when plummeting.
