We don't use LDAP but have mysql as backend. First we had mysql support directly in sendmail to check the recipient adresses. After we moved everything to mimedefangs check_recipient(), the mysqld cpu usage dropped from 5%-10% down to 0,1% - 0,5%. It is much cheaper to use an existing mysql connection than to initiate each time a new one. I guess the same will be true for LDAP.
