Not absurd … I know one user has over 4000 categories. There’s some performance issues with that many that I’m trying to work out as the admin pages take a little too long to load. I only have a few hundred categories in my testing site, but one of the improvements I already made yielded greater than 300% improvement on the manage page for me. On a page that has over 4000, that percentage only goes up.

So you do not invest too much time with trying to make the tip in the SO link work… unfortunately, it will not.

I am literally working on rebuilding every meta box on the add/edit manage page. What I can do it make sure there is a filter in place that you can hook into for the 0.8 release. I’m shooting for mid to end of November.
