get_users() and searching directory

[lkraav]

 66     #-- this is changed to use logged in users from the session table,
 67     #   because an ldap search would be untenable.
 68     def get_users(self, populate_session=True):

Could you explain the reasoning behind this a bit more sandinak? How often does get_users() get called that LDAP was turne doff? It would seem like if it's only in admin panel, directory search for all users should be feasible, esp. with caching implemented + possibly a Refresh button? Paging could also be a thing, although I'm not sure what state the APIs are in for that.

I'm trying to see if I can get basic LDAP database editing going building on top of your plugin.
