A qoute from cpu.conf(5):
-- snip --
       RANDOM = true or false
              If RANDOM is true, then a random number will  be  generated  and
              searched  for  (this number, if unused in the directory, will be
              the users uid or a groups gid). If a user or group with that  ID
              exists,  the process will continue for ID_MAX_PASSES. If true, a
              linear scan will be done starting at MIN_UIDNUMBER  (or  GIDNUM-
              BER) and will not stop until an unused ID is found or the number
              of scans is equal to ID_MAX_PASSES
-- snap --

If I interpret this correctly, it would solve your problem (speed),
because there don't have to be much ldap-questions for finding a free
uid.
