I am relatively new to OpenLDAP (been using for about a month), and the only version I have any experience with is 2.0.15. Before that we used iPlanet 4.12. From an admin point of view, I like OpenLDAP better (I've never been much into GUI's, and iPlanet is heavily into them), but the default performance of iPlanet is better than OpenLDAP. With the proper indexes, OpenLDAP can be made pretty fast, and it certainly uses less memory (I run at a typical 8-10MB, iPlanet used to run at 205MB), though.
