dropdownFieldByIndex() SAIL component issue on Appian 17.1 Version for large number of items

Hello,
We are facing issue with dropdownFieldByIndex() SAIL component.
Background:- We are using dropdownFieldByIndex() SAIL component in our Interface rule to display around 2500 items. The interface works perfectly on Appian 16.2 version. The drop-down loads, allow user to select/change the item without any problem.
Problem: Recently, we have upgraded server to Appian 17.1 version. The dropdownFieldByIndex() component is not working for such large items (Around 2500 number of items). Note that, the component is there on the UI screen, however, when user try to select an item, it fails to display a list. The drop-down just blinks and goes away. Tried multiple times on IE & Chrome browsers.
We tried to rectify/resolve the problem by -
1) Provide very less items (around 10-100) to the drop-down component - it works
2)...

@durgeshk As per my understanding, as you have already have mention about, passing large set of data causes performance issue, i agree with your statement.
Now when we talk about 17.1, we don't know the internal consideration logic behind these component, but we can expect better performance compared to earlier versions. So this might be one of the reason behind not accepting large set of Data for dropdown (which might be taking more time than the expected to be displayed under dropdown)
However can you please share what error are you getting when you are trying to fetch and populate 2500 items in dropdown (if any)
