Performance issue

[jecaro]

Getting the result of a request returning 5000 SearchEntry takes about 5 mins on my machine with a local server vs less than a sec using ldapsearch or the haskell bindings.

I'm not sure if the issue is to blame to ldap-client tho, digging a bit into it and it seems the main cost centers are caused by functions from Data.ASN1.* from theses libraries : https://github.com/vincenthz/hs-asn1

Reporting cause I think that information needs to be visible somewhere.

Are you aware of this performance issue ?
