Latency on the client side can be introduced by such things as authentication (mitigated by the use of client sessions), network latencies between the client and the server, DNS resolution, etc. Those types of network induced latencies can be very hard to predict because it depends on a number of external factors having nothing to do with IPA per se. Elapsed time on the server is also influenced by LDAP tuning (e.g. indexes), memory, available CPU, etc.
