It probably will be marginally faster, but 65,000 lookups per day isn't that much. If you assume that the majority of that mail comes in during 8 hours, you're talking about two lookups per second. An LDAP server should be able to handle thousands of lookups per second. The cost shouldn't be significant, and it'll simplify your mail server configuration considerably.
