Does anybody have a pointer to any performance comparisons between Sun DS and 389?

I was extremely happy with the performance boost using 389 on a Linux VM which is 5-8 times faster for ldapsearch operations than the older Sun machines with Sun DS 6.3.

Please note that earlier versions of the SunDS EULA forbade the publishing of competitive benchmark figures.


In testing one of our most important use cases just now, I find that the ldapmodify speed is many many times slower.  This doesn't make much sense, so I think I'm doing something wrong or having something misconfigured.

Earlier

You mean, with SunDS?  On Linux or Solaris?

I improved the write performance by using large db cache sizes and moving the nsslapd-db-home-directory to tmpfs.  Now most modify operations have very little I/O wait except when occasionally flushing the index files and such, and yet, there is a CPU pegged for very long periods of time, orders of magnitude higher than on Sun DS.

Is there any documentation on ldapmodify performance that I could review?  Google searching seems eerily silent on the issue…  (which also leads me to believe I have something misconfigured if nobody has been asking about the issue…)

The particular use case I am working with involves replacing large quantities of uniqueMember values on entries in ou=groups.

Yeah, this particular operation has not been optimized.  I believe SunDS added explicit optimizations for this particular case.


Thanks,
Russ.
