imho it is a broken implementation(*) of kolabd to fiddle with the quota 
setting of every user even though 99.999 percent of the quota settings did 
not change.

This would be a fast solution but in the mid-term it compicates matters and 
decreases the usability. (People expect that quota changes take effect 
immediately not somewhen later during the month)

(*) I see two potential solutions: Either let the kolabd cache the quota 
information and then do a simple comparison between the cache and the LDAP 
information (should take less than 60 s for 80 thousand users) or even better 
make kolabd smarter to understand changes in LDAP and only set quota for 
accounts which acually got modified. The later is my prefered approach as it 
allows for better scalability.
