RE: Problems with openldap-2.1.22 slowing down over time.

Well, it seems to me that Howard answers a great number of questions daily on this list, and it's not as though he is being paid for answering them, or doesn't have other things that he's doing. Maybe he gets a little impatient after answering the same question several times, but I for one prefer that to having him not answer at all.
