Those javascript callbacks take a bit of time. If you're located some distance from the server which is responding (for example, when I load google.com.au it's NOT in Australia, it's 300-350ms delay away) the autosuggest can get pretty lagged. You've already typed out something like "what colour is the sky" and autosuggest is still dogging along and suggesting things like...

white pages
what if
what is gangnam style
what about tonight
what causes hiccups
what colours make brown

The fix seems simple to me, their client side j/s code could simply ignore any returned suggestions that don't contain the exact phrase you've typed into the search box (which would exclude most of the above irrelevant suggestions by the time I've typed "what c") but I guess it's more complex than that.
