I have set up a Xeon-based server with a number of Subversion
repositories, served through libmod-dav_svn on apache2, and using
OpenLDAP to provide directory and authentication services.

Now for simple queries, for instance from a Windows desktop using
TortoiseSVN, there is no problem with this. In fact it works
beautifully. However when doing a more complex query involving multiple
rapid accesses it causes all the free apache threads to be consumed,
which all appear to be stuck in a loop waiting for a response from
slapd, which has already been given. The Subversive plugin for Eclipse
seems to cause this nearly every time.

Here's the kicker: when I turned on logging in slapd using loglevel 256
(for example), the problem goes away. Could it be that the request for
info is fired off, then slapd responds before mod-dav_svn is ready for
the response, whereas if it is slowed down by logging, the Apache module
is ready in time? I'd have expected some sort of pipeline in there, but
who knows?

Here's slapd.conf:

# This is the main slapd configuration file. See slapd.conf(5) for more
# info on the configuration options.
