Halo, advise pls. Saving my projects is taking 10 seconds per save

Halo world, I’ve been using RENOISE since 2010. Now when I save to a quick save why is it now taking 10 seconds (I see the spinning wheel on my Mac) then I’d be able to play RENOISE again.

anyone can help me? can I do something in my settings? It wasn’t like this last year. Well, it only took 3 seconds to have that spinning wheel then it would work again … Now it’s 10 sec.

if the HDD is suddenly slow, I’d say this is a HDD problem.
