I almost missed this one from Tomek, but he has a good analysis of what happens when you have many results to return from the directory and a nice comparison of how the different stacks (System.DirectoryServices vs. System.DirectoryServices.Protocols) handle it. The moral of the story: if you have a ton of results coming back, it might be in your interest to pursue using the Protocols stack.
