We are using Symas OpenLDAP 2.4.12.1 on a Red Hat EL 5.2 64-bit with 8GB of memory.
My DB_CONFIG settings are: set_cachesize 3 0 2 set_lk_max_locks 3000 set_lk_max_objects 1500 set_lk_max_lockers 1500 set_lg_regionmax 262144 set_lg_bsize 2097152 set_lg_dir /opt/symas/var/openldap-logs/amwater set_flags DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE set_tas_spins 1
The 10 million user load finished in about 18 hours. I believe the primary issue is the fact that we have a single disk on the system. I assume that if I were to move the database and log files off to separate disks I would get much better performance.
Thanks, Pete

I am trying to perform some benchmarking against OpenLDAP. So far I have
ran my tests against a 100K and 1Million entry database and I have had rather decent numbers. My final set of tests were to be ran against a 10Million entry database. Unfortunately, I am having difficult loading the database with this many entries. I have generated 10 1Million LDIF files. I am using "slapadd -c -q -v -l <file>" to import each file. The first 2 files took approximately 15 minutes each to load. The remaining 8 files are taking progressively longer and longer. So much longer that I anticipate the entire proceess to take well over 24 hours. My question is is there anything I can do to increase the performance of slapadd. I assume that since slapd is not running at this point that the normal DB_CONFIG and slapd.conf settings do not have much affect.
What are the settings in your DB_CONFIG file? It is absolutely critical to the performance of slapadd. What version of OpenLDAP are you using? What version of BDB? What operating system?
