Ever since I upgraded to WP 2.5.1, my posts have taken forever to upload or have failed completely. I am pretty sure it had something to do with the autosave function of new posts because I was collecting multiple draft versions of everything I wrote, whereas before the upgrade, old autosaved drafts self-deleted.
But thanks to some great advice from RT Cunningham here, I was able to comment out the auto-save functions, regain my posting speed and regain my sanity. I hope WP fixes this bug in the next release.
