 > Will Autosaves create a new post ID every time...

  * If the post hasn't been saved yet, autosave saves it as draft.
  * If the post is a draft, autosave overwrites it.
  * If the post is published it creates new autosave revision.
  * If the post is published and there's an "autosave revision" already, it
 overwrites that revision.

 It's not a good idea to turn autosave off as it maintains the post lock,
 updates post_ID, nonces, etc.
