Wow!  That's what I had hoped for but it's really incredible to read that.

Uh, that might be the result of the other changes which don't open an
LDAP connection to fetch group info.  14 connections probably means,
you're in 14 groups in other domains than your login domain.

Cygwin is using a bulk LDAP request, fetching 100 entries in each call.
I'm not quite sure how all that works under the LDAP library hood, but
one one hand mkpasswd/mkgroup need to make a lot of requests if you
enumerate your entire organization, and every domain needs its own
connection.

The enumeration queries got the same treatment, so I assume this is
really just a result of having to enumerate all the domains.

Same to you!  I'm glad to get testers in such big environments since, as
I said, it's kinda hard to test big stuff in a tiny domain like mine at
home :}

Final question:  Given the above improvement, are you going to run in
"db" only setting for the time being?  That would make some good long
time test... :)


Thanks a bunch,
Corinna
