slow slapadd?

[Diego Figueroa <dfiguero@yorku.ca>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to load ldap with several ldif files. The
biggest one containing 500k records of approx 700 bytes in size each took
slapadd a little over 14 hours to load. Would this be considered normal
given the amount of records and size?

I am including my DB_CONFIG and slapd.conf files to
see if anyone here can help me figure out if I made a mistake while setting
them up.

The command I use for loading is:

slapadd -q -f slapd.conf -l myfile.ldif

One thing I did notice is that using bdb instead of
hdb took the load time to 19 hours.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks,

Diego.
