Some ideas:

switched to every keypress. might need to do this? if we have it poll at all, it could autosave something on a different tab that hasn't completely updated. Maybe start polling only when a keypress has happened and stop shortly after no keypresses?

just thoughts...

You could try having an "algorithm" that waits until the user finished typing then saves. If there is a pause, or a significant amount of time/keys have elapsed, a save is made. An HTTP request each keystroke is so wasteful.

Agree with Damian. Can you have it autosave on tab-close too? That's the only downside I can think of, like if they're typing and immediately close the tab before the "pause".
