This option allows skipping group member list retrieval to improve performance with very large groups. This option results in inconsistent group membership information being presented that may confuse some applications.

+ If this option is set, the group member list is not retrieved when

+ Lookups for finding which groups a user belongs to will remain

+ This can offer a speed-up on systems that have very large groups.
