To answer my own question, it seems that yes, this is what others are
experiencing. I note this post from Quanah Gibson-Mount:
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-devel/200510/msg00014.html
where he mentions the time taken for the slaves to receive updates.
It seems that in some scenarios, delta-syncrepl may be a better choice
for replication.
There is a description on how to setup delta-syncrepl here:

I'm about to try this.
