As far as performance, I saw no real difference between the 4.2 and
4.3 releases. The only gain on 4.3 is around transactions, which
won't affect most people, but you can patch BDB 4.2.52 and OpenLDAP
for that as well. Once OpenLDAP 2.3 is released with its new "quick"
option to slapadd, it should be fine to use BDB 4.3.
My openldap site has some notes about the transactions stuff:

"These censorship operations against schools and libraries are stronger
than ever in the present religio-political climate. They often focus on
fantasy and sf books, which foster that deadly enemy to bigotry and blind
faith, the imagination." -- Ursula K. Le Guin
