This was actually the first idea we thought of, we concluded that it
would slow the search down, because then the algorithmic complexity of
the search would be O(n), with n as the number of dynamic groups. We
think this would be somewhat against the idea of LDAP directories, where
the number of search operations far outweigh the number of updates. It
is a trade-off between update speed and search speed, but we think that
the search speed is essential, and the update operations are not our
primary concern speed-wise.
