RE: deferring operation?

Howard, I'm curious about your last statement.  Why would 16 threads, at
4MB each in 2.1.16, would be too many for a machine with 1GB RAM?  That
only accounts for 48MB.  Even using a BDB cachesize of 300MB and a LDAP
entry cache of, say, 20000, would still leave well over 500MB of system
memory.  If a machine was dedicated to ldap, why would this not be
enough?

Thanks,

Mike

slapd uses a thread pool. Threads it creates are never reaped, they're
re-used for subsequent operations. The old default was for a maximum of
32
threads, the current versions default to a max of 16. If you haven't
explicitly raised the maximum threads in your slapd.conf, then you've
probably encountered a bug. 16 is probably still too many for your 1GB
RAM.
