I set up LDM as a simple link directory with 16 categories...
Users add links with title, description AND Keywords..
Suppose every user adds 5 keywords.. some are double.. some not..
so if i plan to have about 5000 links.. that makes 25000.. keywords.. no.. because of doubles etc.. but lets say about 5000 in total..

--------
Now on the display links page for example and in other places I have the "Filter" (a dropdown that shows all keywords).. that would be a dropdown with 5000 fields?????
I know this is theoretical only, but realistic is to have about 1000 keywords after 5000 links.. (specially if you have very different categories)
even a the 1000 keywords loaded every page would slow down the system.. or am I wrong..
Ok the filter is limited to keywords by category.. but still.. we dont know how big we get..
I would suggest an option to turn the keyword filter off.. specially to save ressources on bigger board

Thats only an idea... but maybe i'm totally wrong..

I took a look at this, and I don't think the problem is as serious as it might be. The keyword filter shown on a category display page only includes kywords that have actually been used for entries in that category. Pages where users can add keywords use an Ajax-enabled drop-down of matching keywords. Have I missed something?

Still, I will add a control setting to disable this menu.
