Yes. Based on a few tests done by hand on OpenSUSE, nscd speeds up the process a lot: When nscd is running I get a response within 100 mSec in average, sometimes down to 8 mSec and maximum 2.2 seconds. If I stop nscd, answer times ranges between 400 mSec and 2 seconds - the average around 800 mSec. Requesting a new uid (not cached) with each request does not seem to add much to these figures.
I only did 4 tests on Ubuntu 2 with nscd running - and the same 2 tests without nscd. With nscd: 2 minutes 51sec., and 16 minutes and the same to tests without nscd: 3 minutes, and 14 minutes. The differences is negligible and most likely due to other load on the ldap server I think. -- slow group indexing when using huge ldap https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/616719 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to libnss-ldap in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
