Hi, Thanks to all who answered.
Unfortunetly I've received answer with solutions that I've already tried: - Increasing the cachesize and dbcachesize parameters - Including the indexes: mail and mailAlternateAddress and running slapindex after the changes keeping down slapd However I still got a poor performance when my OpenLDAP server have more than 15000 entries.. perhaps I should redirect this question to the OpenLDAP mailing list..
