Thanks Etienne,
I went forward on using the lookup textfield. It was a nice exercise
for learning how to write ULC extensions. I made a lot of progress.
I found the migration notes in the 6.1 release notes to be very
helpful. Of course, once I costed out how long it would take to
finish, the priority was lowered on that task. I'll probably come
back to it in a few weeks.

I'm pretty sure: NO.
Maybe:
- use lists instead of combo boxes
- use the lookup textfield which supports lazy loading
- start with empty combo box models and only set the model data
(synchronously) once the combo gets the focus
... my two cents worth.
