Hello,

I was wondering of anybody has used much of tcmalloc (from google
performance tools) and has any opinion they care to share with regards
to performance of berkeleydb/openldap toolset ?


Yes, tcmalloc is great.

Old news...


Seems about the same with as without for a simple slapadd, but i'd
expect that wins would be more around a highly loaded server, not the
initial load process?
slapadd re-uses most of its memory, and therefore doesn't make excessive calls to malloc. 


(investigations continue however, server loading is next)
