200 ntlm auth requests per second is not too bad in 3.5.8 I
guess. 3.6.12 has a "winbind max domain connections" which
allows you to open more than one connection to the DC. You
should try that.

My guess would be that it's the DC. Can you wireshark the
network to the DC and analyze the response time there?
