Do you have any performance data available on it? I'm very curious about a good comparison of LDAP software. Because regarding to costs, I never saw the point in buying a commercial LDAP software other that buying professional support. OpenLDAP 2.x on a speedy, well-sized PC can be very reliable and fast with a 200k userbase, provided you know what you are doing and can tune it effect- ively (recompile with nice flags and good db support, indexing relevant attributes etc.).
