That's usually equal to the DSA's startup time, i.e. the modifyTimestamp
and modifiersName are not touched as a consequence to internal
modifications to back-monitor entries.  It is yet debated if they should,
see related -devel threads, and, in case, the code would need plenty of
work because at present only read locking is implemented (i.e. multiple
threads can simultaneously read the contents of an entry).
