[389-users] CoS imports slow

[Edward "Koko" Konetzko]

I have a set of CoS objects I am importing in and their add times are 
extremely slow about 1 a second.  There are about 500k objects in the 
directory currently and its broken down in a hierarchical format. 

A simple ASCII drawing would be.

ou=top
    |
    - ou=First
       |
       + ou=Second
             |
             + cn=Final


This is representation of the data but for ease of explanation this 
should work.

There are lots of "First" object and they have the possibility of lots 
of "second" objects. Its the also the same for "Second" object they 
could have a lot of "Final" objects.  The idea is to use CoS at the 
First and Second level to reduce the amount look ups and redundant data 
as final objects need some info from the second objects and first objects. 

Hopefully I explained that in a way it is easy to understand.

My question is are CoS objects not supposed to be used this way?  Also 
are lots of CoS objects used in a hierarchical tree this way bad?  Is 
there a way to make these imports faster?   And last am I just doing 
something completely wrong and there is a better way that I should work 
to my end goal. 


Thanks
