All,

A final head's up for users that land on this thread.

I was able to reduce all outstanding latency after realizing via debug
logs that I had inadvertently created a "loop" of sorts via HBAC
rules.

The "loop" was caused by an HBAC rule which included both the POSIX
group and its externally mapped group, e.g. "posixgroup" and
"posixgroup_external".  By having removed the "posixgroup_external"
group via `ipa hbacrule-remove-user RULE --group=posixgroup_external`
(thereby only leaving "posixgroup"), all noticeable latencies
disappeared.

The clue was in the sssd_nss logs: "Received [n] groups in group list
from IPA Server".  Each user had the group in question duplicated,
despite belonging to several other POSIX to externally mapped groups -
which weren't duplicated.

HTH,
John DeSantis
