Actually, it's a feature called "fast save" -- and it's a conscious
trade-off between disk and time. When you use fast save, you're keeping
extra information on disk by simply appending changes to the existing file.
For a long file, the time saved can be really significant.

If you don't like it, the obvious answer is simple. Turn it off. (hint:
chech the "commands" dialog and stick the option on a menu. you can turn it
on and off as you want). If you really, really don't like it, you can simply
turn it off permanently.
