Have you tried with BDB 4.3.28 or BDB 4.2.52+patches?

OpenLDAP works for thousands of searches for me...

Have you looked at what happens when you turn on debugging? (slapd -d -1)

Are you running out of memory? Do you set any cachesize or idlcachesize 
variables?  What database backend are you using? (back-bdb, back-hdb, 
back-ldbm)
