Does anybody have a pointer to any performance comparisons between Sun DS and 
389?

I was extremely happy with the performance boost using 389 on a Linux VM which 
is 5-8 times faster for ldapsearch operations than the older Sun machines with 
Sun DS 6.3.

In testing one of our most important use cases just now, I find that the 
ldapmodify speed is many many times slower.  This doesn't make much sense, so I 
think I'm doing something wrong or having something misconfigured.

Earlier I improved the write performance by using large db cache sizes and 
moving the nsslapd-db-home-directory to tmpfs.  Now most modify operations have 
very little I/O wait except when occasionally flushing the index files and 
such, and yet, there is a CPU pegged for very long periods of time, orders of 
magnitude higher than on Sun DS.

Is there any documentation on ldapmodify performance that I could review?  
Google searching seems eerily silent on the issue…  (which also leads me to 
believe I have something misconfigured if nobody has been asking about the 
issue…)

The particular use case I am working with involves replacing large quantities 
of uniqueMember values on entries in ou=groups.

Thanks,
Russ.
