When linking against db-4.7.25 slapadd is still a little faster when the trickle-task is disabled: 15m19s (without the trickle-task) vs. 16m12s for the 500k Entries LDIF.
Due to this mutex lock in bdb_tool_entry_put(), perhaps?
if (( slapMode & SLAP_TOOL_QUICK ) && (( e->e_id & 0xfff ) == 0xfff )) { ldap_pvt_thread_mutex_lock( &bdb_tool_trickle_mutex ); ldap_pvt_thread_cond_signal( &bdb_tool_trickle_cond ); ldap_pvt_thread_mutex_unlock( &bdb_tool_trickle_mutex ); }
Weird code. That's not the normal way to use a cond. Why wait for a mutex before signalling, when the code doesn't change any variable which is tested around the cond_wait?
Removing the _lock call brings the slapadd time down to 15m29s. So I guess that would be worth to fix. I'll commit it if nobody objects.
