Please test instead with OpenLDAP software, such as ldapsearch. Also, you m=
ay=20
be able to see (by running ldapsearch under something like strace) where th=
e=20
delay is (note the network connection done just before the delay).

This sounds like you are having DNS timeouts. You should provide some=20
information about your set-up, for example whether the LDAP server is remot=
e,=20
whether you are accessing it via a hostname or via the IP address etc etc.

I don't think anyone generally experiences any problems like this due to=20
libldap, so I think this is a configuration problem, this bug should most=20
likely be closed.
