Why do you have "ldap" first? I would use "files ldap" in any case so local changes can override the directory.

And if there's an issue with the network, things will slow down to a crawl when the system is waiting for the LDAP server to respond (which it won't, so you're waiting for the time out to occur).

Another scenario is when you boot up in single user mode: if you do an 'ls -l' the UIDs need to be looked up to display the usernames by default, so the passwd look up is performed, and since the network hasn't been brought up you're waiting for the timeout.
