Well, you made me curious - wrote up a little perl script to do a filtered report by phone number. It takes 2-3 seconds to get a response from OSX server (Mavericks). Which sure is shorter then doing a full sync, but still longish. Would be interesting to know how long other servers take.

Now, for CID you would want this to run in your dial plan after the call comes in and before you Dial() your local extension. One ringtone is 5 seconds (1 sec tone, 4 sec silence), so it's actually not too bad (remember those analog caller ID boxes which got the caller ID between first and second ringtone?). Maybe you'd need to send Progress() or Ringing() back to the calling party.
