I would prefer to switch to a text entry field. I don't think the disadvantage that Martin points out is significant. It would be easy for Martin to create a report that shows tickets assigned to people who don't exist, since the number of people who do exist is much smaller. We already have thousands of people who don't exist listed in the drop-down menu, so the disadvantage is already present. > Nevertheless, if things become very slow again, I think we should > switch to the text field and benefit from a huge speedup.
