Hi,
I was not certain abt what info to put so I've given below all the info that I could gather. Kindly tell me if you require anything else.

openldap = symas-openldap-silver-2.4-12.1
bdb = bundled with symas ( 4.6 )

configuration in slapd.conf
cachesize       427275
idlcachesize    427275
(there are approx 427275 entries in the db so i've that as the cachesize.)
threads 2
(this is a server which has web applications also running. so we have reduced openldap threads to 2.)
sizelimit       1000
checkpoint      10240 10
lastmod         on
idletimeout     120
timelimit       360
gentlehup       on

in DB_CONFIG,
set_cachesize  0  1985642496  1
(The total size of all .bdb files is 1813643264 bytes)

cat /proc/cpuinfo shows 7 cpus.
It has 4gb ram and 8gb swap.

Thanks and Regards,
Amol.

Yes, those are definitely issues that need addressing.  Unfortunately, you 
don't really provide any useful information that would help with resolving 
it.  You also completely fail to note: 

OpenLDAP version 
BDB version
