Hello,

We have experienced a similar issue. Unfortunately we too have a confidential 
dataset we cannot share.

Our dataset started slowing down at about 1.7m entries. With slapcat/slapadd 
tools I can reliably reproduce the issue:

- first I add about 1.7m entries with slapadd to an empty mdb database
- I test with a search operation that returns a single entry and it performs as 
expected, about 0.06s
- next I add a single entry with slapadd
- after this the exactly same search operation that returns a single entry 
slows down significantly, about 1.37s

With the new idlexp parameter set to for example value 17 this slow down issue 
no longer happens with our dataset. 

I don't understand idlexp parameter well enough. My fear is that idlexp tuning 
is not actually fixing this issue, instead the issue is simply postponed.

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Petteri
