Why not test your LDAP server with "ldapsearch"? (You didn't say what LDAP
server you are using).  If performance is bad, address that, which has nothing
to do with Samba.

Also test "id", make sure NSS is really working, and try using name service
caching if you aren't using the DSA via a domain socket.
