If you're doing more writing than reading, then quite possibly you should not 
be using LDAP at all. (Of course with the back-hdb backend, you can get write 
rates equally fast to read rates, so it may not matter.) In general, 
directories are intended for read-mostly applications. However, they are also 
intended for distributed access to information, and that consideration might 
outweigh the read/write ratios.
