Re: slow response time (ex. cn=*something*)

[Alexandre Bruner <alexandre.bruner@cetelem.fr>]

Hello

i didn't get any replies to this post, but i dug a little further and
found the problem. in the interest of sharing information here is the
resolution.

i narrowed my problem down to slow response for searches with 3 characters
or less surrounded by asterisks (cn=*123*).

apparently for searches like this the indexes are not consulted and all db
entries are searched.

we modified the code and now have somewhat equivalent performance.

if anyone has the most correct way to modify the code to optimize searches
like this or has any info on why this is really bad i'd like to hear about
it.

thanks

alex
