Re: hdb search performance

Also check your dncachesize, the DN cache tends to be the critical element in back-hdb's performance. Still, if the filter attributes are indexed it should not be so slow...

Wasn't aware of this parameter, and couldn't find it in the administrator guide. Tried setting it to about the same as cachesize but it doesn't seem to have a huge effect. The first time the search runs after server-start-up, it still takes minutes to complete. Interestingly enough, CPU usage is very low during this time, below 10%, and even below 5% most of the time. iostat reports about 3.4% iowait.
 
Is there a way to verify that my indexes are working properly? As far as I can tell, they are present. There's an o.bdb and an objectclass.bdb in /var/lib/ldap. Also using loglevel 256 and not seeing any warnings in the log about unindexed attributes. I tried running slapindex again but that doesn't seem to have had any effect.
