I have a server and slave setup with syncrepl, openldap 2.3.34
If I run a script to make about 60,000 modifications on the master, this takes about 20 minutes to run. The slave starts updating immediately, however it soon falls behind. It takes over an hour, since the last change to the master, for the slave to be in sync.
Is this expected behaviour?
To answer my own question, it seems that yes, this is what others are experiencing. I note this post from Quanah Gibson-Mount:
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/200510/msg00014.html
where he mentions the time taken for the slaves to receive updates.
It seems that in some scenarios, delta-syncrepl may be a better choice for replication.
There is a description on how to setup delta-syncrepl here:

I'm about to try this.
