Performance: Ruby/LDAP vs. ActiveLDAP vs. Net::LDAP

Hi everyone,
Currently, in an application I'm working on I'm using Ruby/LDAP and
ActiveLDAP - and they both work relatively well. But recently I've run
into some performance snags. So my question is - is there a large
performance gap between Ruby/LDAP, ActiveLDAP, and Net::LDAP that would
justify standardizing on one over the others?

ActiveLDAP is a wrapper on top of Ruby/LDAP. There is supposed to be
work later toward making ActiveLDAP work with Net::LDAP, but I don't
think that's started yet. Net::LDAP is pure Ruby, which means its
significantly more portable. IMO, Net::LDAP has the better LDAP API
than Ruby/LDAP (which mirrors the C API faithfully).
