A change in Samba 4.7 made the LDAP server multi-process. However if
you have a lot of LDAP clients, this can consume a lot of memory.
Samba 4.8 introduced the prefork process modal, which can be enabled
with samba -M prefork
This however changes the netlogon server back into a single process
(for $reasons), so it is a trade-off, however one that many sites
running with restricted memory would be happy to take.
Give it a go.
