Hello,

Thanks Clement for your response and blog for valsort usage 
(http://coudot.blogs.linagora.com/index.php/post/2013/01/07/Astuce-OpenLDAP-%3A-Des-groupes-dynamiques-Jamais-sans-tri-des-valeurs-!).
 

Dieter i didn't mention my search filter because i take the same 
base/scope/filter that i configure inside memberURL, and also my idea wasn't to 
compare my server configuration with others and yours, but just to understand 
why it take more time to search uniqueMember whitout valsort overlay than 
searching the entries locally.

Now, yes using valsort overlay decrease the time of ldapsearch display for my 
10K entries :

real 0m0.436s
user 0m0.010s
sys 0m0.009s

Where is it mention inside OpenLDAP documentation/faq that performance are 
better with valsort and what is the threshold for using it (eg how many 
uniqueMember? ) ? 

Thanks,
