Emacs seems to save synchronously, i.e. the interface locks up during a save.
This is especially noticeable when using tramp.
Is there any way to have the save happen in the background?
I don’t think you can for a user-initiated save. AFAIK Emacs (at least GNU Emacs) is not multithreaded so you can’t kick off an asynchronous save.
