Couldn't locate a solution. If the taxonomy if free tagging, is there an option to have exposed filter for tag without autocomplete
feature ?

My concern is, when number of tags becomes exponentially large, it may take considerably long time for the autocomplete
functionality within exposed filter search process... Anyone has real time experience on this possible problem of autocomplete
exposed tags..

thx

Well, there are just a limited amount of people out there visiting the issue queue.

So what you could do is to implement a hook_form_alter (you will find tons of tutorials out there)
and remove the '#autocomplete_path' part of the textfield via unset($form['some_field']['#autocomplete_path']);

I'm having the same issue with usernames. Forget it: #1930838: User exposed filter must be exact to find anything

In your custom module:

function yourcustommodule_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  if ($form_id == 'views_exposed_form') {
    $view = $form_state['view'];
    if ($view->name == 'your_view_machine_name' && $view->current_display == 'your_display_machine_name') {
      unset($form['your_field_machine_name']['#autocomplete_path']);
    }
  }
}
