Adobe Photoshop/saving file that don't need to be saved again

Question
I have a very PS document that has a lot of groups with a lot of files. Anytime I make a change in any file in any group it seems to save everything (all files) all over again. Take a real long time to save. How can I just save files that have been changed only. I'm doing a webpage in photoshop and all pages are in groups on the same document. Very time consuming.  Thanks in advance

Answer
Hi Frank,

Anytime you change anything in a document, it has to save the entire document. There is no way to save only a portion of a document. My suggestion is to break this document into smaller docs, say each group is its own document instead of one large document. Also, this is a good practice for not keeping all your eggs in one doc in case of catastrophic failure.
