I'm still suffereing from slow startup problems over VPN, but I don't think it's the LDAP calls. As noted over in another thread the startup of tcsh takes a long time to start over a slow / long latency connection (the home directory is on a network share). About half of that slowness is the history file load (saving the history on shutdown is also very slow), so either tcsh does something really stupid there or Cygwin does interact badly with how it tries to read/write these files. There is nothing happening network or CPU wise, so it feels very much like repeatedly hitting timeouts. Another thing I noticed is that pasting into an SSH connection often leaves the last few characters off and you need to hit another key to get them displayed. Not sure if this is related, but I seem to remember that this had been reported before and may be a regression. Lastly, running cygserver to cache the LDAP data has another side-effect when using VPN. Since the cygserver is usually started before you've dialed into the VPN, your username and some groups will get reported as "DOM+User(12345)". You have to restart cygserver after the VPN is up to correct that.
