Hmm, I don't think that is the case. The way the script works is that it
first generates a list of all of our groups (which doesn't even come from
LDAP, it gets pulled out of a database that is another component of our idm
infrastructure). Then, for each group, it does a search to get all the
members, and then removes/adds them 500 at a time until it has processed all
of them. So there is one search, then repeated modify remove/modify add,
then another completely separate search, etc, through all of them. The
connection to the LDAP server is persistent throughout the script, but there
is no single operation whose duration persists.

Does it have anything to do with being a syncrepl provider? The
documentation sometimes describes syncrepl as being a "persistent search",
and the size increase only occurred on the primary master, not the secondary
master or read-only slaves.
