I just registered because I'm experiencing the same issue.
I run a small vanilla forum (50K postings, about 10 active users at peak) on a free hoster.
At first I thought that running vanilla on a free hoster (where a wide array of php functions are disabled) was the problem.
My hope was that switching to 2.2 would fix it, but unfortunately it still happens in 2.1 and 2.2
I can confirm that it only happens when you're in the editor and the draft is being saved. My hoster only gives me a 503 error so I couldn't investigate any further.
It happens more often when you have a lot of discussion-tabs with the editor in focus open. (It almost appeared immediately when i opened about 30 tabs). I doubt that with so few users the database is at its limit, though.

You are lucky to be able to do anything on a free host.
Obviously auto-draft involves polling. I would disable auto-draft on a free hosts. I would also have stuck with 2.0.
Cheap host are difficult to run a forum of any size, so if I was on a free host I would be very conservative, with what features I'd use. Pretty much anything that involves pinging the server regular would be off limits.

How can this be done? I've found no config setting for this.
Would it be necessary to delete each $this->AddJsFile('autosave.js'); or is this file needed?
Would it be better to change var options = $.extend({interval: 60000, button: false}, opts);in autosave.js to var options = $.extend({interval: 0, button: false}, opts);?

Which editor are you using? tinyMCE? CLEditor?
@UnderDog: If this is the case than the problem is also there with ButtonBar activated as i'm using this formatter.

Understood, but solve it step-by-step. Remember that a bug report needs to be created to solve the problem in the software. The vanilla-team just needs to know what to fix, before they can fix it.
@x00 I just discovered the Stop Auto Draft Plugin and will try this now. Still everything else works surprisingly well even on a cheap host (if you're ok with enabling plugins manually and not having cURL).
But as @phreak 's forum has the same issue, this might not be entirely host-related.

It also happened when I had WhosOnline disabled.
