title: Select tag with 1000 options - performance hit
body: <p>I am using a plugin called Chosen which basically adds searching to a select html object. 
  I load the results from an ajax page.
  However I have a lot of options appended to the select tag - around a thousand. 
  Maybe it is the chosen plugin, but having a 1000 options does seem a bit laggy. </p>
  
  <p>How is this gonna affect performance and what are the workarounds?  </p>
