Autosaving has broken my game.

This game is no longer fun to play as most of my time is spent waiting for the environment to load. Mind you, I'm not doing anything to stress the game out enough for this to happen like filling chests with books full of chinese symbols or having lava drop from high up in the sky. I have a nice little village with a wall around it where I protect it and make things for my villagers. However, whenever I do anything outside the village like traveling on the ocean or even running while the game is saving chunks won't load for several minutes. I have walked into lava, down deep holes because the entire chunk didn't load so I didn't see it, or into monsters that for some reason like the rest of the chunk could not be seen. If I have other players from my local network join it literally crashes the game. I know what causes this to happen though, it's the NOT OPTIONABLE force you to save every minute autosave feature. So, dear Mojang staff, can you please implement a game update that makes autosaving something you can toggle on and off? I'm tired of trying to play a game that decides to force me to save every minute.
