Re: adding entry, indexing takes too long (ITS#3081)

[Kurt@OpenLDAP.org]

Thanks for the followup.  As I don't see anything that indicates the
behavior you see is due to a bug in OpenLDAP Software, I will leave
this issue closed.

I note that it is not expected that these macros be changed by
the user in order for the server to behave as intended.  In this
context (a bug report), we need to determine whether the behavior
you see is due to a bug in OpenLDAP Software or due to something
else (a bug in some other software, a problem with your configuration,
a problem with your system, etc.).  I see no indication that
its the former.

Again, no errors/warnings reported by slapd.  With the exact same behavior seen with the prior versions of software, I am assuming that the issue is still basically that the indexing of a new entry taking too long.
