The log timestamps are printed in hex because it has the cheapest formatting
cost.

Use your favorite text processing language to postprocess the logs. perl or awk
would be easy.
This awk script will do the job:
####
/^[0-9a-f]+\.[0-9a-f]/{
split($1, stamp, ".")
ts = "0x" stamp[1] ""
us = "0x" stamp[2] ""
tsn = strtonum( ts )
usn = strtonum( us )
ns = strftime( "%Y%m%d %T", tsn ) "." usn
$1 = ns
}
{
print
}
####
awk -f stamp.awk < slapd.log | less
