Description (last modified by DrewAPicture)

I've observed a very very long waiting if we have a lot taxonomy terms (8K in my case) when i open a new post, my browser (Chrome 32) froze while 50 sec before to generate all <li> categories.

Other problem, in my category taxonomy page who lists 20 first items per default (excellent for fast loading) BUT in same time, it generates the parent drop-down with ALL cats ! Same thing above, browser froze a few seconds..

Maybe would be interesting to use ajax instead ?

We should definitely investigate this - a patch could move it to 4.0

Are we going to leave this to the new WP-admin?
