At the moment we have approx. 80,000 entries in our OpenLDAP
directory. It works very well and I can't see any performance
problems, at least for searches over indexed attributes. Insertion and
updates are not performance critical for our application.

The directory tree consists of six levels and the majority of our
entries is sitting at the bottom level.

The above directory holds bibliographic references -- you can call
this arbitrary data in comparison with users and account information.
