The way icomplete is implemented it should (in theory) not block you from typing further while building the completion list. AFAICT, this also applies to IDO. So have you tried to "keep typing" when Emacs seems to be waiting for the network to reply? If so, does Emacs keep waiting, or does it "immediately" process your key (and starts trying to build the next list of completions)? If it keeps you waiting, then it's a bug which I suggest you report with `M-x report-emacs-bug`. Stefan
