I see, your issue is caused by the fact you haven't indexed the objectClass attribute. When back-mdb does a search to find all the alias objects in the DB, instead of returning zero, it returns unknown which causes it to loop through all possible entryIDs looking for alias entries. (On my laptop, "all possible" is 2^64 - 1 so yes, this will spin for .. a while.)
