Autocomplete slows down my workflow in the Python window, especially if I am remoted into a machine.
Is there a way to disable this?
Alternatively, a way to disable this and then invoke as needed (similar to Intellisense options in Visual Studio)?

I use Pythonwin as my Python IDE. In that environment, and I am sure in others, you can simply toggle it off. For Pythonwin, try the menu option View | Editor, then toggle off autocomplete.
EDIT I should add you are under no obligation to use the one provided in ArcMap, simply fire up your favourite IDE and >>> import arcpy which will give you full access to the arcpy module. If you have frequently used expressions, particularly complex ones associated with the spatial analyst module, use a text editor to save them, then cut/paste and modify to suit.
ESRI dev types are also touting pyscripter as a pretty full-fledge, open source Python interpreter...I would keep an eye open to see if this gets bundled at some stage as a replacement for Pythonwin. It has more capabilities and it rivals (apparently) some commercial Python IDEs 1
Short answer: no, there is no way to disable it.

Tools>Options>IDE Options: Uncheck complete as you type. I don't know if there is a way to toggle it with hot keys. That is what I'm trying to figure out.

1In ArcMap 10.0 there is no Tools menu. What program do you access this setting? Commented Feb 20, 2012 at 16:38
in pyscripter you can do the same and then ctrl+spacebar to bring it back as needed
Yes, there is.
Click tools>preferences>editor>code introspection.
Go there and uncheck auto complete
switch off hint, that shown in image, It will work properly. open jupyter notebook , go to option " HELP" / continuous hints
