on last monday, the extraction of ldap had some trouble, the extraction request never ended, and that made the server inaccessible; we had to restart it. since march 30, the update process (ldapmodify) is incredibly slow, it takes about several hours (~60 entries per minute), but the extraction request is "normal" again (about 2 seconds).
Are you sure that the problem is in OpenLDAP? Have you checked the server hardware?
This sort of heavy slowdown could be caused by a failing disk for example.
