Even if you could make the population of your drop-down faster, you're still going to have some serious useability issues with a dropdown of that size.

Is there any other way that I can populate the dropdown to make it faster? Not really... As suggested, using some form of autocompleter might be a good idea, depending on how the back end is implemented. A dropdown with that many elements is going to cause problems on several fronts; it might make the JSP to big (some (all?) app servers won't handle a JSP larger than 64K), it may cause an issue in some browsers due to sheer size, and it'll almost always render fairly slowly.

Re: Populating dropdown
Better option would be: using *autocompleter* instead of select.

Re: Populating dropdown
Hi, Maybe you can divide your options in categories and use several dropdowns with an ajax loading. From the user point of view, large data in dropdowns are not very usefull.
