slapd uses more and more memory

["Benoît Cousson" <benoit.cousson@vitecmm.com>]

Hi,

I'm using openldap 1.2.3 on a redhat 6.0 server. I've just noticed that when
I start slapd, it use about 2 MB of memory and 1 week later slapd use about
24 MB!!!
I know slapd use memory cache, but my database size is only 667kB.
And right now I'am using ldap as a nameserver for my intranet (about 42
machines).

Content of /var/ldap directory :
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root            4 Jul 30 09:37 NEXTID
-rw-------   1 root     root       152576 Jul 30 09:37 cn.dbb
-rw-------   1 root     root       265216 Jul 30 09:37 dn.dbb
-rw-------   1 root     root        47104 Jul 30 09:37 dn2id.dbb
-rw-------   1 root     root         8192 Jul 30 09:37 id2children.dbb
-rw-------   1 root     root       160768 Jul 30 09:37 id2entry.dbb
-rw-------   1 root     root        27648 Jul 30 09:37 objectclass.dbb
-rw-------   1 root     root        13312 Jul 30 09:37 uid.dbb

Is this intensive use of memory normal or not ????

Thanks in advance.

Benoit.
