For example, instead of 1 list of ~2000 items, you can have 26 lists of about 80 items indexed by the first character in each address (more if you're using numbers, I guess). Then when the user starts typing, get the first character they've typed and get the corresponding list for that character (simple map lookup) and set that much smaller list as the data source for the auto complete text view.
