I've never seen this before.  It's odd that amount of time needed to
save a file would increase over time.  A few questions, if you don't
mind...

1. How big is the file (lines of code and/or total bytes)?

2. Is your workspace stored on network drive/NFS?  This is not a
remote project (using RSE or RDT), right?

3. Do you have plug-ins for Subversion, Git, or other version control
systems installed?

4. Try checking the box "Show Heap Status" in Window > Preferences >
General.  This will put a heap monitor in the status bar on the lower
right-hand corner of the workbench.  What sort of numbers is it
reporting?  Does it escalate or oscillate during the save?

5. Try opening the file in an ordinary text editor (right-click > Open
With > Text Editor), making a similar change, and saving it.  Does it
still take that long to save, or only in the Fortran editor?

6. Would you mind sending me the
/path/to/your/workspace/.metadata/.log file?  If there's an exception
being thrown, it ought to be logged there.

To answer your question, yes, the Eclipse platform keeps a local
history of each file, although I wouldn't expect that to slow things
down... unless it's storing a massive history on a network drive, or
something like that...
