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.
