What is the fastest way (in terms of openldap settings) to perform a massive load (~200MB ldif file) of data into openldap directory?

Try "slapadd -q" (read slapadd(8) man page to get started).

slapadd -q is important, but so is having a large enough BDB cache in the DB_CONFIG file, plus setting the right number of tool threads. I took a load down from 17 hours to less than 2 hours adjusting all of those correctly and adding -q.

The LDIF file is only 200Mb large. It should be a matter of minutes to load it on a decent machine, even when using the standard parameters :)
