I believe the issue is that LDAP books are *not* flagged as  
expensive, when they certainly should be!  You can turn off  
auto-completion in Settings: Address Books: Modify, but that  
turns off both auto-completion and user-requested completion  
(ctrl+R).  If you installed from a tarball, the fix is:
