[Samba] Extremely slow DC domain join

Hey there,
I've been playing with a fairly large SAMBA4 domain (~29,500 objects)
that has been freshly migrated from Samba3.
I created a fairly generously specced VM called "sdc-us0" and then ran
the following command:
sudo samba-tool domain join 'ad.digipen.edu' DC -Uadministrator
--realm='ad.digipen.edu'
It works, however it takes an *extremely* long time to get past the
"Committing SAM database" step - we're talking anywhere from 12 to 24
hours (it was 7 hours and 30 minutes in when I left the office, so I
don't know the exact length of time it takes). During that time little
IO is seen and a single core is pegged to 100% utilization.
Am I doing something wrong? I was under the impression that creating and
joining a new DC should be significantly faster than that.
Both machines are running Debian 7 "Wheezy" with Samba 4.1.7 installed
from backports.
Thanks,
~ Benjamin
