Our experiences are that vampire slows down in syncing groups, because each
membership is synced with a single command. Having 500 users with each one in
10 groups means 5000 changes. With the current implementation there is no
easy way to change this, because samba has to respect the "add user to group
script", which can (by design) change only one membership.
This can be improved both by XML and ldif-output.
