I agree that default load-all-options is an annoying default. I just ran into this problem again myself in the last few weeks. One problem with any of the alternatives (besides making it readonly by default) is that it requires the other model to be registered in the admin, which could be also be annoying for some people.
I hope there's _something_ we can do to somehow improve the situation. Maybe we could at least improve the examples in the documentation? Maybe give an example in the docs of a ModelAdmin subclass that defaults to using raw_id?
