I have had to postpone our move to LDAP as this eats way too much CPU.  I
don't understand why slapd would sit there in a tight loop.

I've seen what appear to be tight loops around time() by itself,
yield() by itself, and also

time()
yield()
time()
yield()

There are no select() calls nor anything else.  Every once in a while,
other calls go through and then it slips right back into these
loops... but as it eats CPU doing this (92-95%) its ability to answer
queries goes way down... so the net effect is it appears to stop working.

Should I start an ITS ticket?  Can I provide more information to help
debug this?  Should I be giving 2.0-devel a test drive?

Thanks in advance.
