Not really, I'm just looking for a method to tune my configuration.
I'll try the low-level profiling approach but I am not sure that the
results will help me to configure the server :)
I started grepping the slapd logs, maybe this will be a good starting
point. At least I can reproduce my typical load on a test server.
Log parsers like apache's ones (awstats, webalizer...) would be very
interesting in such cases : number of requests, frequencies, time taken
to answer...

I forgot to mention that I had already run db_stat -m (found this in the
faq #1075) and that everything fit in the cache.
