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?
