At this point the libmdb library code is behaving pretty well, and

back-mdb is code-complete. It is not yet passing all of make test, but it does
pass the majority of tests so far. As expected, it delivers higher throughput
than back-bdb/hdb under heavy load, with a smaller memory footprint, and
nothing to tune. So far so good.

You'll note that for most of the commits the deletions far outweigh the
insertions. I made the MDB API similar to the BDB API in most areas, so the
effort of porting wasn't too great. Most of the effort was simply in deleting;
fully 1/3rd of back-bdb/hdb's code was deleted to get back-mdb running. This
is more of what I originally intended back-hdb to be from the beginning... Now
if we just go forward with my idea to move all slapd global variables into a
single structure, it would be trivial to persist all of slapd's runtime state
into the mmap as well.*
Mebbe OpenLDAP 3.0 will get there - instant-on server...
