Are you saying there is a significant performance difference when
running "getent passwd" (or running proftpd) in your environment between
libnss-ldap and libnss-ldapd?

If so, please open a bugreport against nss-pam-ldapd.

I can't think of a reason for proftpd to do anything different between
libnss-ldap and libnss-ldapd as they both implement the exact same API.
