I'm very happy to continue testing; I was merely meaning the 1.7.35
performance is still not adequate in my environment.

I have made some progress with analysis (slightly handicapped as I'm a
novice with ldap and am not an admin)

According to nltest /dclist:
Our environment has 6 London based DCs 

According to ldp.exe Live Enterprise Tree we have a tree structure for LDAP.

6 leaf nodes at the top matching ther 6 DCs
4 leaf nodes under an "AUS" (Australia) node
3 leaf nodes under a "CHI" (Chicago) node
and a few more similar to this in other regions.

When running mkpasswd I see active sessions to all the nodes in the tree on
port 389 (ldap)

I have tried using Sysinternals ADInsight (with a 32bit cygwin) to see what
requests are made with 'echo.exe'

There are two searches shown:

A) RootDSE:LDAP_SCOPE_BASE:(objectclass=*)  (1.113ms)
B) <London DNS>:LDAP_SCOPE_SUBTREE:((objectClass=trustedDomain) AND
(name=<Australian DNS>))     (4.426s)

I don't know why the second query is being made with the Australian DNS name
but I suspect this is the problem.
(Perhaps it as simple as A coming first in the alphabet ...)

Happy to investigate further if someone can suggest some useful avenues.

Regards,
Roger.
