Use of the django default forms routines form_for_model,
form_for_instance on a model that has a foreign key that references a
table with a large number (thousands) of rows results in two problems.
One, you get an appreciable (5 seconds on a local network using
postgres and apache) delay while the list is populated.
Two, the list is not very easy to use.
This has been discussed in this list before, but no one really seems
to believe it is a problem.
Such foreign keys must be very common, surely every large company
address book must contain thousands of entries.
These default routines are so useful that it seems a shame to not
provide some way of suppressing/delaying the population of  what can
be a very large drop down list.
