Every one of these that I have seen, with OpenLDAP (or Sun DSEE or AD) has been due to client traffic. Connection count is not always related to workload. You can have a couple of connections doing a lot of searches, right? Quanah, I thought you'd know better than me: The "deferring operation: binding" message is an indication of a client with a lot of outstanding async requests, right? So I think your problem is probably not a lot of clients or a lot of connection but one or a few sending a lot of work to your server in the form of, if not writes; if not a voluminous quantity (as evidenced by your network metrics seeming normal), maybe some complex filters?
