Yes and I agree with the limit for a single call. The load in the LDAP server 
could be a problem. 
In our case we need, because a user have several objects (n) with several 
permissions/operations (m) over the same object, the call to LDAP need to 
retrieve n x  m items.

Keep in mind that most of the existing LDAP server are configured by default to 
return a limited number of results (typically 1000). There is generally no 
valid reason to get past this number (typically, it will pound your server, and 
most of the time, you won't need that many elements).

So think about it twice if you want to get that many elements from your 
database : do you *really* need them ?
