memory usage may heavily depend on the cache sizes you can define in slapd.conf, if you are using ldbm as a backend. (have a look at section 5.2.4 of the adminguide on openldap.org) increasing them can also dramatically increase the performance of slapd doing searches.. depends on the number of entries in your db too, though.. br, daniel
