Yes, that's the ticket.  It used to be called SLOWINCREMENTAL (ON/OFF)
and as previously stated it chops the information coming back from the
adsm server into bits at, I think, the directory level, and performs
the incremental one directory at a time.  More network traffic but
less memory usage.

We use it a lot for Mac users that refuse or can't change their
running adsm size under GETINFO.   Sigh.
