Filter in app is rarely the right solution, your data should be organized in a way that you can get what you need in a single query. Reasons:

- it's memory efficient

- it's atomic

- it's faster

Also doesn't LDAP support filtering in query?

Given the context, it probably took the poster very little time to implement that fix, without digging into ldapsearch. With massive speedup, for their likely smallish ldap install. Seems like not a bad call at all.
