[Fedora-directory-users] LDAP Accounts for large website

[Chris G. Sellers]

Performance is often impacted greatly by

1) Memory on the LDAP server.  Make sure you can store as much of your  
directory data store in RAM for fast access
2) Indexing.  Make sure attributes that you search on freqently are  
indexed.   Also, limit what fields you search on to avoid having a  
heavy indexing tax.
3) Make sure your network connections are stable, and your not  
connecting on a 100MB half duplex connection while your network  
equiptment is expecting a full duplex connection.

Once you have auditing those situations, please check your performance  
again.

50k accounts is not that much, and a 2GHz Pentium Class or 1.5GHz Core  
2 system with 1GB-2GB of RAM should perform okay.
