That must be a new feature. As of a couple of months ago, that statement was false. If the index file does not exist, openldap would step through every entry in the directory, one at a time, until it found what it was looking for or timed out. Insert a dummy user with an entry in mailAlternateAddress and it will create the index and the speed will magically return. -- Blue skies...
