actually, on my test setup (admittedly, only about 100 recipes), the
unit completion works fast. i think we should hold off on getting rid
of stuff until we have the optimized db in the backend. hopefully
things will speed up.

actually, i think robert is talking about something different, as i
experience this delay too - you enter a new ingredient, you fill out
all the fields (including the ing key), and then hit "add recipe" (or
just enter), and it takes a second or two before the recipe is added.
so the key completion has already been done by that point, and should
play no role. (and btw, on my test setup with 100 recipes, key
completion is fast, anyway). robert, is this what you are talking
about? even if its not, im talking about it. :)

i will think about this part some more and reply later.
