I think it is a mix of bdb and OpenLDAP. It feels like like crazy caching 
gone wrong and default settings made for huge systems no one has.

I always used LDBM backend on OpenLDAP since in our setup we do very
little writes to the DB and LDBM was always fast enough for the read
perfomance we needed. But as I said I did not test other backends in a
long long time (I know that bdb needs some button pushing which I never
did). Should start to look into this slowly since LDBM is dead and
unmaintained and it feels bad to run old unmaintained OpenLDAP versions.
