Regarding the quicksave "issue", I made quite an observation yesterday which leads me to believe that it could somehow be related to the copy protection of the physical disc. I bought myself the german DVD version of DKS and also noticed that quicksaves take quite some time (~5 seconds) before they're actually done saving. Still, in ~25 hours it never bothered me or anything.
Out of laziness reasons I decided to replace the original exe with a no-dvd one yesterday and was surprised to also notice that quicksaving my game now only takes about a split second until it's done. I know, this is probably not the place to discuss these evil things, which I really didn't intend to be doing, but still I thought it could be useful to some other guys who'd like to give it a go if they're toooo bothered by it.
