Highlight function kills performance

Description

We found out a performance bottle neck in the Autocomplete Plugin.

The function to highlight the entered term in the item list is performed via a regular expression. This regular expression is very time consuming in JavaScript and decreases performance.

We tested the plugin with about 2.500 items and with highlight on, it took about 4 seconds (Fx 3.5, IE6) to display search result. We disabled highlight and it was under half a second (both browsers).

Please rewrite this function or disable it per default.
