   Jan-Piet, we really doubt that that claim can be made based on performance. The most recent performance runs we've made comparing the Netscape last release to OpenLDAP 2.2 (if I remember correctly) showed OpenLDAP did very well against Netscape. That data is still up at our Web site somewhere. And I don't think Red Had has had time or energy to do any significant performance work on it yet. Our recent benchmarking hasn't included comparisons like this. But it's been on BIG directories and I'd say OpenLDAP's doing REALLY well.

   Sounds like a fan-boy raving without facts. BTW … the link is busted so I couldn't go read the original post.

   Hi Jan-Piet,

   You can look at:

   http://www.symas.com/10k-cdsvnds.shtml

   For a comparison between OpenLDAP 2.2/CDS 2 and Netscape 6.21. It is on my to-do list to do a benchmark of FDS as compared to CDS 3. I will note that those benchmarks were done with DirectoryMark, which is not as capable as the new software I'm using to do benchmarks with (slamd).

   Keep an eye on the:

   for updates as they become available.

   Regards,

   @Marty: the link is correct; it just sometimes loads and sometimes it doesn't. (Is it powered by FDS? )
