Come to think of it, it's probably really just slow.  The difference
between mkpasswd/mkgroup for domain accounts:

1.7.33:

  Calls NetUserEnum/NetGroupEnum,NetLocalGroupEnum with maximum Buffer
  size.

1.7.34+:

  Calls an LDAP enumerator fetching 100 SIDs per call.
  For each SID:
    Call LookupAccountSid.
    For each User:
      Depending on nsswitch.conf, call LDAP to fetch the extended passwd
      info (pw_shell, pw_home, pw_gecos).

I guess there's some room for improvement.

OTOH, keep in mind that you're not suppsoed to call mkpasswd/mkgroup
to enumerate your entire organization.  If you're using it at all, then
only to create the required entries in /etc/passwd and /etc/group for
your local acocunt to work, and then leave everything else to the "db"
setting.
