We know we don't deal with large facets very well already in #672
And this is because of how / what we are doing with Jquery to populate any List Facets.

This doesn't seem high priority to me since it's an attempt to push beyond recommend boundaries. One easy way to fix the "bug" would be to enforce a reasonable upper limit on the text facet choice count.

Oh wow, this issue is still around? Let's close it. This was a limit test in actuality that I documented as an issue so that we had the capture of the actual error component. This issue just needed a glance over by you, Jacky, or Antonin at the time and could have been closed as "Will not fix" long long ago.

So doing that now. So to catch up from your time away, you only have about 400+ more issues to review Tom! ;-) jk
