I did some tests myself:

the autocompletion of paths and filenames only happens with those files 
that are actually shown in the commit dialog. So if you have that many 
files shown in the commit dialog then something is seriously wrong.
* if the files are unversioned and should stay that way, mark them as 
ignored
* if the files are versioned but modified, consider committing them

rule of thumb: if you have to scroll more than two pages of files in the 
commit dialog, you're doing something wrong. 
Because with so many files shown, you will someday commit the wrong file, 
forget to include a file in a commit (because you overlooked it in those 
many files), include files in a commit that you shouldn't have or worse, 
forget to add an unversioned files to version control and commit it.

my tests included a list of 8000 files - the autocompletion box took only 
500ms to show. While that is annoying when typing, you should take it as a 
hint to maybe adjust your workflow.

if you can't adjust your workflow, you can specify the number of chars it 
takes to trigger the autocompletion: the default is three chars, but you 
can set that to e.g. 6 or even higher:

Settings-Advanced->AutoCompleteMinChars
Set that to a value that works better for you.
