I just stopped by the Dennis Mac lab, and it seems that the LDAP indexing I did back here may have helped things out on the Macs as well.
It used to take 30 seconds or so to log in, at least (I never specifically timed it, except under heavy LDAP failure conditions, where it could take 2 minutes). At this point it takes 6 seconds to get from pressing return at the login prompt to a stable desktop, even on a machine just awoken from sleep. Not bad, I’d say.
