The LDAP_MATCHING_RULE_IN_CHAIN mechanism can be very intensive on large servers. The reference to this on Microsoft's site is:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa746475%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
It mentioned this specifically:
"Note that when using LDAP_MATCHING_RULE_IN_CHAIN, scope is not limited—it can be base, one-level, or subtree. Some such queries on subtrees may be more processor intensive, such as chasing links with a high fan-out; that is, listing all the groups that a user is a member of. Inefficient searches will log appropriate event log messages, as with any other type of query."
From what I can see, the search via the chain lookup in the plugin is only using the subtree scope, so it is unlikely that any developer with access to a large AD deployment would want this at all as it can easily kill the AD if there are sufficient queries to accounts with large number of group memberships.
