6000 items in dropdown

    I have a dropdown field with enhanced option on. In this field i have about 6000 items.
    When i'm in the page where the form is it takes a minute or two between the click on the select dropdown and intill i see the values to choose from.
    Is there another way to do it, for example to load the items from a file?
    Thanks

    Even if you load items from a flat file, you'll still have to wait for JavaScript to "load" them so that they show up in the enhanced interface, and I don't think you will see any speed increase.

    Ok, is there another way?
    This is a field that the user need to input stock signs and i have to make sure they exists.
    Maybe with hidden field and normal input that check if the input that the user wrote inclueded in the hidden field data...
    But how to do that?
