please, please, pretty please use raw_id_admin (django model docs).
because, when you have a model that contains a ForeignKey (and people usually have ForeignKeys), then when you use an automatic manipulator for the given model, it will load in ALL THE DATA FROM ALL THE RELATED MODELS. for example, if you have 20.000 entries in the related table, then it will load in all those 20.000 entries.
except, if you use raw_id_admin. it’s an attribute of the ForeignKey, and contrary to the documentation, it’s effect is not restricted to the admin-framework.
