The cachesize & idlcachesize are calculated using some formula we have been using where we account for sudden increase in ldap entries. But the difference does seem to be too much. I will change it. Is it ok to change cachesize and restart ldap daily or should ldap be allowed to run for longer period of time ?

If you use back-config, there's no need to restart ldap. Restarting ldap resets the entry cache.

I was in doubt about the threads setting too. On googling I found that number of threads should be equal to 4 times the number of cpu cores. But which cores, the physical or the logical? logical meaning the number of cpus listed in /proc/cpuinfo.

It has to do with real cores.
