[389-users] Finger slow and optimizing performance

[Tim Hartmann <hartmann fas harvard edu>]

Hi!


I was spending some time today trying to make sure that I was getting 
the most bang for my buck today an my replica's and I notices two items 
of interest that I was wondering if anyone else had input on!

Firstly, after creating a number of indexs, my performance seems to be 
really good, the exception that I noticed was "finger" I noticed that 
finger takes a couple of seconds to return the data on RHDS whereas on 
OpenLDAP, it pops right now in real time! My first though was that I was 
doing an un-indexed search, but I can't for the life of me figure out 
what I might not be indexing that I should be!

The second thing I noticed was that on my servers, which are RHEL5, 
running 32bit OS's with the PAE Kernels, RHDS doesn't ever actually 
address more then 3 gig of ram! I was looking through the 
documentations, and it looks like by raising the "Maximum Cache Size" 
I'll be able to allow RHDS to use more of the available memory.. did I 
get that right?


Anyway, as always thanks in advance for all the help! This list has been 
a tremendous resource for an application that keeps on showing it's 
value in huge ways!


Best,

Tim
