I use dell 1650s and 1750s for openldap 2.1.30 ldbm (bdb) backend
I am running EL2.1 and these babys can handle up to 15k req/min.

I found a huge performance degradation when i tested with RHEL3.0 and
when i used bdb backend.

My suggestion is to try increasing the dbcache and the number of entries
openldap stores in cache. This would decrease the amount of disk reads
and should improve your I/O.
