We found a Cool Solutions post about ldif2dib, a new "high performance" database load tool. The improvement is striking ... their offline, super-tuned "sledghammer" reached 687 object-loads a second. Now, we don't know what the hardware was and how the software platform plays out but a recent load of 1M entries (the same sized directory) using ldapadd (the on-line command-line tool not an off-line highly optimized tool) OpenLDAP did the adds at about 857 object-loads a second. The number for their ldapadd was about 22 a second ... 'nuff said?
HYC: Ok, just a bit more - the OpenLDAP bulk load tool slapadd loaded our 1M entry database at over 3300 object-loads a second. (And that's not new, slapadd has been delivering this optimization level for a couple years already...) So just what are these guys talking about when they talk about high performance?
