Do you have 'ldapsam:trusted = yes' set in the smb.conf of the DC?  This
makes some of these operations much faster, which should allow it to
return to winbindd quicker.

This specialist optimisation requires that all users (including the
guest account) be in LDAP, see the discussions on the list and the
documentation.
