It would also be worthwhile to revisit Jong's patch in
ITS#3851...
(The 50M entry DB occupied 69GB on disk. The last time I tested a DB of
this
size was on an SGI Altix with 480GB of RAM and 32 CPUs available. Testing
it
on a machine with only 16GB of RAM was not a lot of fun, it turns into
mainly
a test of disk speed. OpenLDAP delivered only 160 auths/second on XFS, and
200
auths/second on EXT2FS. Isode delivered 8 auths/sec on EXT2FS, and I never
got
a test result for XFS.)
Not much to add, other than the fact I was just about to download the
Isode LDAP offering for playing with...
