Is 20,000+ users in a domain something that samba can do quickly yet? As 
far as I know we've done all the standard things - indexes in openldap, 
nscd on the PDC & quick hardware. Openldap is certainly quick enough - 
the entire people OU comes back in about 5-6 seconds, so I've run out of 
obvious things to tweak. Is ldapsam *that much* quicker than 
ldapsam_compat for large numbers of users?
