causing all sorts of problems for us. One thing to note: the master
does basically the same updates, but through an normal ldap client,
rather than through syncrepl -- and it does not experience this
slowness.
syncrepl (re)sends the entire entry, so it's a lot more intense than your
typical MOD. I seem to be the only person willing to live with this, but
it's quite common to use "delta-syncrepl" instead, which only sends the
changed attributes. There should be ample documentation out there; read
up and come back if you have questions. (I'll probably change off of
traditional syncrepl when I move production to 2.4.)
