WordPress fires wp_insert_action on every single save and not just when the post is created

Description

According to the WP Codex wp_insert_post as an action should fire ONLY when a new post is created. However it seems as if it fires on EVERY save.

See the following stack exchange article:

wp_insert_post will be fired on every time a post object is added to the DB, be this from a audit / logging plugin, or from the saving process of WordPress.
Autosaves and revisions will also insert posts, which is probably what you're seeing here.

Some documentation to check out:

​http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/save_post (especially the examples)
