Hi Brandon,
Thanks for the reply.

I tried to stop slapd without init script and it takes few seconds (2-3) to shut down.
Another question about memory: since I'm in a virtual environment I can add RAM up to 64GB 
What is, in your opinion a decent memory amount for an LDAP server? The system doesn't seems to
be under stress and there is a low of free memory.

I tried the script Clément posted without significant differences. I'll try again today
modifying configurations. I'll post here updates.

Thanks again,
