Bug Description
OS: Lubuntu 14.04 LTS amd_x64
Hardware: Acer Aspire 5517, 4GB ram, AMD Turion64 x2 TL-60 2.0Ghz processor
Inkscape Version: 0.48.5
When creating simple text, using default size and font, I can get a sentence or two in and then the program stops responding and the only way to resume work is to force quit and relaunch, therefore loosing all unsaved work. The program often crashes after pressing backspace repeatedly, such as when deleting an entire word.
If this is just a product of my hardware configuration, then a quicksave and recovery feature would be amazing.

@Eric - A recovery feature already exists in Inkscape, but it works on crashes only. In your case, Inkscape hangs but doesn't crash and saving in that context is a bit more difficult.
