Re: slapd's syslogging slowing it down

[Matthew Backes <lucca@csun.edu>]

The debug level of slapd is controllable within slapd.conf or via -d on 
the command line.

Use some less verbose debug setting?  (-d 0 should turn it Off)

Configure syslogd to write local4.* (or whatever facility you've 
configured slapd to use) to be written asynchronously?  (Though I see 
you've said now that it is not being logged at all...)

Use remote syslogging?

Make sure that remote syslogging goes to a separate physical disk?  
(good idea to also separate your databases and bdb transactionlogs for 
back-bdb or back-hdb)
