    replication: Avoid expensive nested loop when loglevel below INFO
    
    handler() goes into a nested for loop to figure out whether the
    entry read from LDAP differs from the one it got from the cache.
    The purpose of that seems to be to log a message (at "INFO" level)
    when they differ.
    
    That nested for loop can be every expensive. E.g. for very large
    groups. (We ran into this with a group with roughly 100000 values
    in the memberUid and uniqueMember attributes).
    
    This patch skips the loop when the currently set loglevel is
    below "INFO". It might make sense only go even further and to the
    logs only and "DEBUG" level. (Or skip the checks if the number of
    attribute values is beyond a certain size).
