--- Comment #2 from subbarao@computer.org subbarao@computer.org --- Hi Howard, I've already deployed a short-term fix as described above. What I'm looking for with this enhancement request is a long-term supported configuration option that doesn't require compiling code (e.g. available in the standard Ubuntu slapd package, etc).
I'd expect that environments with lots of dynamic groups will suddenly be bitten by this issue when upgrading from 2.4 to 2.5. The overhead is significant -- each new dynamic group makes member=memberDN searches go noticeably slower. We don't want a common-case search performance to keep degrading just because someone added some more dynamic groups.
It seems like a fairly simple enhancement request to add, so I was hoping you could consider it. Apart from timing and prioritizing, do you have any concerns about the merits of this feature request?
