Yes, the underlying database restrictions apply.  See GDBM and
BerkeleyDB documentation for specifics.  They are quite high in
both cases. I mostly use BerkeleyDB 2.7.5 (configured to use
the b-tree interface).

ldapadd(1), especially with database write sync enabled (which
is by default), is slow but safe.  ldif2ldbm(8) is much faster,
but doesn't do any naming or schema checks.

I generally load new entries with ldapadd(1).  I use ldif2ldbm
to bulk load LDIF files which are known to contain valid entries.
I load multiple megabyte LDIF files on a regular basis without
problems.
