That's more of a question for the kdepim guys. I thought that LDAP 
lookups in KDE 3.1 would only happen if they are executed explicitely 
in KAddressBook but not during autocompletion exactly for the reason 
you give above (much too slow in case of large directories). Tobias? 
Cornelius? Is this correct or am I wrong?
