Speaking from experience with a large AD. What did you expect? If you're tab
completing a username, then because of limitation in the POSIX interface,
you've just asked AD to return you information on all users. That's not a
quick operation. If I were you, I'd disable this enumeration as you *really*
don't need it.
winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes
