Something I've always wondered

Since about FM07 I've been wondering if the time taken to save the game goes towards the gameplay time on your addictiveness rating. Generally after a few seasons my machine goes slow enough that I have time to go and make a cup of tea, make a phone call or do something else that I'd not normally devote time to while playing FM, so I've never worked out if it is counted or not

Does anyone know if it's factored in?

As long as FM is running with the game loaded, and it is saved at some point later during the same period, it counts.
