Sometimes I temporarily modify readonly file buffers and get this error
from auto-save:

        Auto-saving system.el: Opening output file: permission denied, /usr/local/src/#system.el#

All good except when it happens it freezes emacs for a few seconds.

Any idea how to make it less intrusive? or make the freeze shorter
namely 0s?

I think that this has basically been implemented in the years since this
was reported.

These days, Emacs will warn by popping up the *Warnings* buffer:

Error (auto-save): Auto-saving foo: Opening output file: Permission denied, /etc/#foo# Disable showing Disable logging

And you can disable these messages by clicking on the links.

So I'm closing this bug report.
