RE: SLOW Performance: OpenLDAP on Linux and IBM Dual Xeon?
I am using OpenLDAP 2.2.8 with BDB 4.2.52, heimdal 0.6, and cyrus-sasl
2.1.18. All machines are on the same kernel with the same cache size
setups, same dataset, and the tests query the same uids. The most bizarre
part is that my Dell Dual Xeon 2.8 Ghz is only able to do 5000 queries a
mere 10 seconds faster than my Pentium 3 700Mhz. And my IBM Dual Xeon
2.0Ghz comes in last, taking almost 3 times longer.
I need to see if this is an OpenLDAP specific problem or a general system
problem, as mentioned. My HTTPD tests showed equal performance and was
therefore inconclusive. Is there another test suite I could try?
