I'd run it only if last slapd shutdown was not clean (i.e.: slapd.pid 
exists while slapd process is dead). Without looking at the thread I 
believe the suggestion to be bit "strong".
Remember that running db_recover destroys the contents of the __db* 
files (that contain the cache and other db environment) and so should be 
done only if really needed.
