Do you mean the syncrepl slows down indexed attributes modification? Or there are some other 
causes for the slowness of attributes modification, as compared to SunOne directory server.

I am trying to understand the reason why the performance of OpenLDAP is much worse than that of SunOne directory server,  
when it comes to do  attributes modification. The performance result is published as a paper named:
 'A Comparative Performance Analysis of 7 Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Directories' written by E. J. Thornton, etc.

You can find the paper through a google search.

Thanks!
