RE: a better search?

["Marco Ferrante" <ferrante@unige.it>]

I've about 5000 entries, also with a uid value with equality index on it, running 
on a PII 300 32 Mbyte, and a query for uid don't take never more than 2-3 
seconds.
Can we see you slapd.conf and a list of file in your database directory?
