Bumping this again, this is one of the most serious issues in the engine, possibly affects UE5 too. Everytime you save, the editor will freeze for few seconds. I ve also heard from other creators that saving causing UEFN to crash.

The editor needs to not freeze on save, because it happens every few seconds and stops the flow of development
