We have workflows that execute onSave. What it does is create a new record in a separate entity during the saving of a form. How do I overcome the limitation in CRM 2013, as I am aware that the record saves automatically every 10 - 15 seconds, so we'll end up having multiple records created. We're also taking a huge performance hit.
Any ideas?

Hussman,
Since the Save event triggers on both auto save and explicit save, a way has been provided to differentiate whether the Save event is being triggered by autoSave or explicit save. A new "Auto Save" mode with an unique value of 70 has been added to the CRM SDK so that the getSaveMode() can return a specific value for ISVs to use. Refer to CRM 2013 SDK for more information about the existing method in CRM 2011.
If you want to enable auto save for your organization but disable it for specific entity forms, you can add code to the OnSave event to prevent auto save from occurring for that form only.You can use function preventAutoSave(econtext) and add it as web resource for that specific form.

When you say "create a new record in a separate entity during the saving of a form" what are the conditions on this?
I would have thought that you could do the Workflow when the record is created. Otherwise set the workflow to start only when a particular field changes.
If you can restrict when the workflow starts then the performance hit/auto save should be irrelevant I would have thought.
I think the only option for you is to turn autosave off.
if you want to turn it off only in one entity use this code:

Really depends on what you are doing. A potential option is to create an additional boolean field to indicate your new record has been created or not. In the workflow once you've created the new record set the field to true. Include a check condition in the beginning of the workflow to only run if the value is false.
