I've used the python-ldap library to simulate other varieties of interactions successfully, but when it comes to binds, each interaction seems to generate a substantial amount of traffic behind the scenes, so suspect that *things* are happening that is artificially limiting the bind rate/s.

python-ldap itself is a pretty thin wrapper on top of libldap. Especially if you're using LDAPObject.simple_bind() or LDAPObject.simple_bind_s() [1] there is definitely no "traffic behind the scenes".

So if you have overhead on the client side I suspect your own Python code adds this.
