This would result in a much faster time for loading a new album, especially with slower computers.

Hint people. Key word: Option.
While I wouldn't use it, I'm sure someone could. So long as it's an option, then I'm fine with it. That's not to say it's a pressing matter of course.

Don't get me wrong, BEA is one of the greatest sites I've ever been on, but I could clearly do without the albums/artists suggestions. I don't really know anything about informatics, but if pages can appear faster without them, then I think such an option would be a good idea.

Unfortunately, there's no easy way of removing the suggestions box. Picking from suggestions helps to ensure all of the albums on BEA can be cross-referenced, it helps to eliminate duplicates (multiple copies of the same album being added to the database), and (for year & decade charts) it also helps to show albums for the selected time period. If suggestions were removed and 'free-form' entries allowed, the site would be unmanageable. I take on board the issue with slower computers/networks, and I'll see what can be done to improve performance.

The only option I see is to make something similar to IMDb - where instead of the suggestions appearing as you type, you first type in the whole title, then press enter and get offered the list of titles

I agree as some people might spell an album wrong and there would be two different versions of one album...
