Will do.

Yeah, I've not been able to reproduce it from -Q, either.  Timers
triggering it seems to be likely, but it also seems to perhaps have
something to do with the number of buffers with unsaved changes?  For
instance, when I'm typing away in this buffer, it was auto-saving every
half-dozen characters, or whenever I stopped typing for half a second.
But then I `C-u C-x s', and then it stopped being as aggressive...

Now it's just auto-saving whenever I stop typing for a second or so...
