I am using now the patch I sent here yesterday and it works really good,
faster and do backups (numered) as expected.
Hope it will be applied here in emacs because it DTRT.

I don't understand what is the problem with "visiting the file".
See in precedent post why it is not bad visiting the file.
In the special case of bookmark-write-file, it is really not the
problem.
