 This problem does not only affect performance, but also got security
 issues:
 you can e.g. copy to the article the partialy secret data and then you
 want to delete the secret parts, but with this autosave revisions bug,
 your secret data are stored in the database and everyone
 (editors/admins...) can reach them!

 Both functions are fine, but there should be no revisions of autosaves!
