You could have an alphabet pre-selection of the users available in the
dropdown if you *must* keep the dropdowns - but an autocomplete would be
good. They're probably just after dropdowns because they haven't seen
another niftier solution though - it's up to you to educate them.

If you're still experiencing large amounts of data - you can also consider
gzipping the content at server level and allowing the browser to decompress
at the other end. Of course, using an ajaxian technology severely reduces
the amount of traffic in the first place.

While AJAX was populating the drop down ? Sure.

Yes. There is no getting away from that, unless you want to narrow it down
by
department, initial letter or some other drop down first.
Maybe a set of recent or favourite users could be kept be user too.
