Our "P"DC is a virtual machine.  It search ~200 desktops and ~300 users.
That includes roaming profiles, netlogin, and some redirected folers
[some folders in the roaming profile are redirected to shares on the
server].  Backend is LDAPSAM.  Load is very low [with current-ish
version of OpenLDAP - slapd used to burn much more juice than it does
now].

Actual file-serving traffic burns up network bandwidth; but CPU and
memory requirements are surprisingly low.
