Stephen, another user sent me a wireshark trace for a similar performance issue. So far I see a pause when doing the first leg of a SASL authentication. This may well explain also your issue. Can you test connecting to the ldap server using ldapsearch -Y GSSAPI (you need a kerberos ticket) and telling me if you experience any delay ? If you could run a bunch of searches in a loop and take a wireshark trace that may help analyzing the timings and seeing if there is a correlation.
