I am interested in what it would take to make the autocomplete avoid any asynchronous calls. The underlying goal would be to speed up the response time by avoiding an additional html request. I am curious if this has been discussed/implemented, and if not I think having this option as a per widget setting would be an amazing usability feature.

This module is reusing the autocomplete feature implemented by Drupal itself. So this behavior you describe would potentially affect any other autocomplete widget implementation.

I'm afraid I won't have the time to experiment on this, but I'm perfectly open to review patches.

Sounds good, if I get something going I will post a patch.

Ok, feel free to re-open then. For the moment, I think I won't have the time for this and I don't like having issues where no work is being made. The issue still exists in the queue and it can be awaken at any time.
