BTW, these values can not be "better" for all setups, they are dependant on:
1)the amount of data
2)the available RAM

There are some guidelines on setting up the 'set_cachesize' option in
the FAQ-o-matic, I have attached a script, which makes recommendations
on the cache size. If you run it with -q, if it will output the
directory for the database, followed by either "ok" (if the cache size
looks reasonable) or a recommended string (if it is not sufficient).
Unfortunately, with the current LDAP database I have running, I couldn't
test all scenarios ... but it seems to work correctly.

The recommendation for "idlcachesize" is that it should be about 3 times
larger than "cachesize" (both of which should be in slapd.conf, not
DB_CONFIG).

Buchan
