The recommended way to add LDIF files is doing it offline via slapadd.

You fail to note any useful details of your configuration.  For example, 
what is the size of your database on disk?  i.e., du -c -h *.bdb.

Did you fully patch BDB 4.7.25, or is it unpatched?

What are the contents of your DB_CONFIG file?

How many total entries are in your database?

What are your settings from slapd.conf or slapd-config for:

cachesize
dncachesize
idlcachesize
