to speed up initgroups, make sure you have the netid.byname NIS map.  if
you're not familiar with it, the keys should be "unix.UID at NISDOMAIN",
the values are "UID:GID,GID,GID,...".  an example for my account, which
is uid 1232 in domain "ifi":

key: "unix.1232 at ifi"
value: "1232:0,6,15,7411,11232"

presto, no iteration through the complete group map needed!
