p:autocomplete triggers a datatable update when calling autocomplete method.

[solokingjec]

I have a template menu and page with an autocomplete and datatable as shown. When I start typing anything on any of the two autocomplete, the table value method that loads data from the bean is triggered. It's like the autocomplete is firing an event which instead of updating its suggestions panel, it decides to update other components also and makes it so slow.

Have you looked at the F12 network traffic to see what AJAX events are firing?
