I have also seen ns-slapd utilize quite a lot of cpu in some cases.

However, the question I always ask first is that "is it hurting 
something?". If the answer is "no", or "I don't know", then I generally 
ignore it. So far, I haven't had a positive answer to the questions.

Is the client-facing performance of your servers suffering somehow which 
you can clearly document?
