Well, It seems that I have exactly the same problem with my Samba 2.2.7a-8.9.0 (Redhat 9.0) !
I have ... around ... 60000 users and 140000 groups ! The "getent passwd" command don't show me all the existing users but around 10000 and the "getent group" command take a very long time but seems to be active ! When I redirect in a groups.txt file the result of the "getent group", the size of this file regularely grow ... But ... Very very slowly ! Have you receive a respons to your question ? I'm very interrested. Thanks a lot for your help.

I'm running samba v3.0.0RC2, and authenticating it against an ADS server, and the domain has a massive number of users and groups (14000+ and 4000+), when I run a 'getent group' winbindd seems to die on me. 'getent passwd' doesn't seem to show all users, either. Any ideas?
