Does it make any sense that a scene which is 70MB and takes 5-7 minutes to load should take over 25 minutes to save? I know what caused the save time to suddenly skyrocket, which is lots of expressions I added to my materials, but I don't understand why save/load times are so disproportionate. Before the expressions were created, the scene took up about 60MB. Before the expressions were added, it took easily less than 3 minutes to save. There are maybe about 287 materials with probably 40 or 50 expressions each. Yes, it's a lot of expressions, and yes, I can certainly just skip some of them if I need to, but does this degree of slowdown make sense? It just seems a bit weird to me.
