Hmmm, not really. It's just my feeling trying to do some simple 
searches from the Python command line: I type the instruction, hit 
return and '>>>' comes up immediately (i.e. no visibile delay).
I could do some timing, but I don't have the time now to set up the 
environment now... sorry about this.

I'd be glad to supply sources and binaries to anyone interested, 
though.

Yes, it's a simple bind: username and password.

I guess it's also the only one supported by Win32 without certificates 
or the whole Kerberos shebang.

I really hope someone with SASL experience comes to our rescue.
