We've been running 4.0 in production with 30,000 users under Red Hat AS 2.1 
on a 4-processor machine, but only deliver.db and tls_sessions.db use it. I 
haven't noticed a lot of problems. Of course there are some aborted 
lockers, but not too many. Following the recommendations on the OpenLDAP 
site I just created a DB_CONFIG file to increase the cache size to 1 MB, 
but I wonder if that's going to be noticeable ...

Cheers, Sebastian
