you have not tuned {{slapd}}(8) correctly or grasped how to design your

Reading, understanding and experimenting using the instructions and information
in the following sections, will enable you to fully understand how to tailor
your directory server to your specific requirements.
Various factors can play a part in how your directory performs on your chosen
hardware and environment. We will attempt to discuss these here.
It should be noted that the following information has been collected over time
from our community based FAQ. So obviously the benefit of this real world experience
and advice should be of great value to the reader.
H2: Performance Factors
We will attempt to discuss how various parts of the environment in which your
directory runs can play a part in how well it performs.
H3: Memory
Scale your cache to use available memory and increase system memory if you can.
More info here.
H3: Disks
Use fast subsystems. Put each database and logs on separate disks.
