(I'm using openldap 2.2.14)

What should I consider when deciding whether to define local attributes as

SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15 Directory String (UTF-8)
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 IA5 String
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.36 Numeric String
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.40 Octet String
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.44 Printable String

Is it correct to think that if I "know" the data is restricted to ASCII, 
then the IA5 string version will perform a little better?
