we use javascript intervals for autosuggestion. regularly check the value of the monitored input field and if changed, trigger a new request. this will cover both cases, slow-typing users and also ten-finger-guys (which will type much faster). a new request for every added character is indeed too much, even if your backend is responding within a few ms.
