Author metabox with a huge content

[lionhurt]

my website has 200K active member and the author metabox dropdown cause out of memory problem i think this must happen because this dropdown need to get 200K users with names and id

i know i can fix this problem with buy a bigger server, but i think it will be great if you change this drop down to better thing like ajax search

for now i use remove_meta_box() function but i think this is not the best solution

using remove_meta_box() is a good solution for now, however, this is a duplicate of #19867
