Re: Antw: Cannot add to mdb

What you could try is (assuming you have debug symbols in your binary) attaching gdb to the running slapd to see where it is spending CPU time. I can't remember the commands precisely, but "bt (backtrace)" and "info threads" should point you in the right direction. Note that slapd will likely stop responding while gdb is attached, so you could also try to force a core dump for offline examination.

Maybe the gurus get a clue what may be wrong then...
