Yes, the entries aren't worth much to us once they've done their job, 
any querying by us is done immediately after an update (which even for a 
modification for many hundreds of modifications happens like greased 
lightning over all slaves) and such a modification produces thousands of 
these records, since there's one record for each attribute. Leaving them 
for 24 hours is OK nad I really want an immediate delete. That's what 
our original shell script did.

I'd seriously suggest you go ahead with delta-syncrepl and have a look 
at chaining referrals from slave servers; they're two facilities in the 
latest 2.3 that are worth gold to us, in any event.
