Back in the days of OpenLDAP 2.1 with Berkeley DB 4.1.25.3 we used to have
to 'reload' out backend database occasionally as non-indexed reads would get
slower and slower over time. The 'reload' entailed:

   - stop slapd
   - slapcat the contents to an .ldif file
   - remove the database files
   - slapadd the .ldif file to create a new, fresh db instance
   - start slapd


Then our performance problems went away. Re-indexing didn't do the trick.

Is such occasional re-building of the backend database recommended in
OpenLDAP 2.4.25 with Berkeley DB 4.8.30?

Thank you,
Mark
