This problem sounds familiar to me. I tried winbind on a linux box to 
allow users to log in using their win domain user. Having searched a lot 
the www (without success) and mailinglists, I finally found a posting on 
the samba-technical mailing list where somebody complained about the 
same problem.
The problem seems to be a large number of users / groups in the domain 
together with winbind seeming to get a new list of all users / groups 
each time the corresponding pam module is called.
So the question is: How large is your win domain?
I think the guy I talked about had about 15,000 users, in "mine" there
are over 60,000. The guy's "solution" was to change to samba 3.0
(it's
alpha status today, as far as I know), as he had success with that 
version. Concerning "my" domain, I haven't tried samba 3.0 yet as
I
haven't been at the company for two months (it's a study/work 
combination). But I think I will try when I'm back at the end of february...
Perhaps you will try sooner and tell us about your experience?
Regards
Heiko
