Re: Performance of Fast Synchronous Search

For now, I will be treating this as an enhancement and, hence,
will not be back porting the changes to 2.2.

With the fast synchronous search patch, the performance of the synchronous search becomes very close to the asynchronous search. The DN sort overhead (ldapsearch -S "")  should be considered when interpreting the small performance difference from the asynchronous search.

In addition to the above performance numbers of the synchronous searches in isolation, it would be very helpful in understanding its performance implications if you can provide your mileages with this patch in your configurations such as Samba, Heimdal, nss_ldap, and XAD.
