Interseting. I've seen this sort of CPU usage issue with OpenLDAP 2.3/BDB4.2.52 on Ubuntu 8. Do you know how BDB 4.7 was built? I.e., specifically, did it have the:
--enable-posixmutexes --with-mutex=POSIX/pthreads
options enabled?
It's the Debian packaging for BDB 4.7 (only available in sid, but it's a simple rebuild to backport to lenny). They do *not* appear to pass any mutex-related options to ./configure.
Also, are you using a shared memory key? I've found that has a significant (positive) impact with BDB 4.7 on linux boxes.
We are not. Thanks, I'll give that a try.
