The slapadd load is ongoing right now on a better machine with two
scsi disks.

Hmm, I was talking about the BDB transactions logs, not syslog. Anyway,
it seems I forgot to add loglevel 0 do my slapd.conf. In fact, there is
no loglevel directive in my slapd.conf. Since I'm getting nothing at
the LOCAL4 facility, I suppose the default is zero anyway, but I'll
run these tests again later on with loglevel set to zero explicitly.
