I have a lmdb environment in linux with 4K (MDB_dbi) databases. The size of the whole lmdb file is around 500G.

foreach (MDB_dbi db in databases) { mdb_drop (txn, db, 0); }

This process takes more that 10 hours. Is it reasonable ?

Probably not a reasonable thing to do. Just delete the DB file and recreate it. mdb_drop() is only slightly faster than mdb_delete'ing each record.
