And it's working very nicely until there are no more than about 1-2000 
entries, so this functionality should be preservered. I think it would 
be nice to mention somewhere to the user (in better English):
"If you have no more than some hundreds of entries in the LDAP 
directory, then you can use the LDAP resource for convenient access to 
the contacts in the directory, and if you have thousands of entries, 
please configure the LDAP lookup functionality in KAddressBook where you 
can use the directory for address searching & completion."

Bye,
