 On a non-MS installation with over 10,000 users, the call to
 `wp_dropdown_users` on line 139 of `wp-admin/export.php` causes the page
 to time out as it attempts to query all 10,000 to figure out which are
 authors and load them into a dropdown.  The result is that  export is
 impossible.

 I think perhaps a better solution would be an autosuggest text box for
 selecting the authors to filter by.  If I can get some agreement about
 that, I'll write up a patch.
