You can try basic tuning (via DB_CONFIG for Berkeley DB) and the cachesize. But some of the options for tuning available in later releases are not valid for 2.2.
For running a production LDAP service, I near always recommend building and maintaining it yourself.

I think I'm hosed - wants bdb 4.4+ - CentOS 4.8 has 4.2.
so I shift to source on that - and what'll THAT break?

Assuming you keep it in a separate prefix, as you will do for OpenLDAP 2.4.21, it shouldn't break anything on the rest of your system.
You will want to slapcat your existing data and slapadd it once you've built OpenLDAP 2.4.21/BDB 4.8, as IIRC you will not be able to just use 4.2 files with DB 4.8.
Building from source really isn't that difficult, as both BDB and OpenLDAP have good documentation on the subject.

I'm interested in the exceptions you have in mind with "near always".
What do you think about building via ports on *BSD systems (pkgsrc on NetBSD) ? AFAICT it generally produces a resonably up-to-date release (provided you have an up-to-date port tree of course).
Best regards, Thierry

Symas provides packages, and so does Buchan Milne.

No idea, I've never used the BSD port systems.

I do that on FreeBSD and it really kicks ass:
put that in your /etc/make.conf: WITH_BDB_VER=48
Then build it cd /usr/ports/net/openldap24-server/ make install clean
(currently build with OpenLDAP 2.4.21 which is served us well as slave). As a Master, we have yet to migrate our oldish 2.3 setup, this is on the list for the next month.
