I'm having trouble getting the consumer synced in reasonable time. My tests were with fewer than 20 entries in the datastore and I saw no problems.
Have you configured a DB_CONFIG file? Did you use the -q flag with slapadd? Your load times seem very abnormally long. I can load a 3 million entry LDIF file that's very large with quite a number of indices in about 2 hours using a correctly tuned system.
