jQuery UI autocomplete gets very slow with long list of items

I have a list of around 8,000 items (loading from MySQL) and I made a simple HTML select field to load all of them but the load time was more than 10-15 seconds every time. Then i changed it to jQuery autocomplete which is much better than simple select field but the delay is still 8-10 seconds everytime. Is there any way to decrease the load time?

I try this method jQuery UI Autocomplete Combobox Very Slow With Large Select Lists but it doesn't affect the loading speed

The problem with datalist is that it currently cannot be styled... An astounding oversight by W3 designers.

Otherwise, it is faster than jq-ui autocomplete with thousands of list items.

You can also try html5 datalist

<input list="browsers" name="browser">
  <datalist id="browsers">
    <option value="Internet Explorer">
    <option value="Firefox">
    <option value="Chrome">
    <option value="Opera">
    <option value="Safari">
  </datalist>
