Performance tuning for LDAP
There are several things you can do to tune the performance of slapd
for your system. Most of them have to do with the LDBM backend.
LDBM uses an index mechanism to store and retrieve information
in slapd. Each entry is assigned a unique ID, used to
refer to the entry in the indexes. A search for entries with a surname of
``Antbear'', for example, would look up the index entry ``=ANTBEAR'' in the
surname index. The data returned is a list of IDs of entries having
that value for the surname attribute. We have found several things to be
useful in improving the performance of this indexing scheme, especially on
modify operations.
