If you find that you are running AdFind in an iterative script, say digging up some given attribute for some large list of objects, try using the -DLOID switch. This tells AdFind NOT to download parts of the schema to help with decoding various attributes. You should notice a pretty decent speed increase since you will have less work and less traffic between the DC and the client. Of course if what you are doing depends on that decode. Well then you get to live with it. 🙂
