IIUC Stefan is saying that the slow responsiveness of the remote network
should not matter because Emacs builds the completion list
asynchronously (at least when icomplete is used, AFAIK ido needs to
build the list before interacting with the user). If, when using
icomplete, you are forced to wait, it is a bug in Emacs. Stefan is
trying to know the exact problem you experience (with icomplete).

For ido, which builds its list of candidates synchronously, you can
advice the function `ido-is-slow-ftp-host'. This function takes a
parameter which corresponds to a directory (if this parameter is nil
then the current directory is assumed). When this function returns
non-nil, ido is disabled.
