Re: tweaks for speeding up ldap

[parthasarathi s a <parthasarathi@odysseytec.com>]

I actually found out in a search of several mailing lists that by adding dbnosync and dbnolocking to slapd.conf would show some improvement. But i didnt notice anything really very drastic. Will stripping down any code help? If it does, which part of the code should i fiddle around with. Or (i repeat) are there any compiler flags so that i can do a recompile for my machine[P3-800, running redhat linux 7.2]. I dont require any form of authentication in the server. Right now able to do around 80k-100k entries(a telephone directory) without sweat. But after that thers a drastic fall. [Am using open-ldap 2.0.7]. 
I'm targetting ~10 million entries, with substabtial speed.
Now since clustering is ruled out (almost) Any suggestions would be of great help.
