Limit to DDCL items?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

** What steps will reproduce the problem?
Simply loading the page.  This is a 'search' page with filters utilizing the 
DDCL.  IT appears as though the combination of greater than 2500 line items 
being returned for the total number of DDCL elements on the page results in a 
script timeout (alert)

** What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

** What is your environment?
-- DropDownCheckList version:  1.1
-- jQuery version:     1.4.2
-- jQuery UI version:  1.8.4
-- Browser and version:
Firefox 3.6.16
IE  7.0.5730.13IS
Chrome appears okay

** Please provide any additional information below/Please attach sample
html
The files called in the header of the HTML refer to the version we have running 
in production.  I've upgraded the code on my local/dev environment to the 
1.4.2/1.8.4/1.1 as stated in the issue details.

A script timeout is based solely on the whims of the browser doing the display. 
In my experience, it is also based on the capabilities of the machine doing the 
display.  In other words, an old slow machine is going to timeout while a new 
fast machine has no problems.  Also, Firefox is significantly faster than older 
versions of IE, and Chrome is significantly faster than Firefox. So as your own 
testing has shown, Chrome is fine while the others fail.
DDCL has no inherent limits, but it does take some time to produce the dynamic 
controls, with more controls required as the list of items grows.
Since this is a situation outside the scope of anything that could be done 
within the code for DDCL, no development action will be taken.
