Emmanuel, thank you.  One follow-up and I should have included this in the 
original message.  My query includes an OU as the base dn in the search.
All entries in this OU all have the same 4 objectclass values. No other 
objectclass types are in this particular OU.
Say I had 1000 entries. Each count for top, person, organizationalPerson and 
inetOrgperson would all yield 1000 hits. In this case, should I include the 
objectclass in the query at all?

If you start your search from a given baseDN, and if there is no children, then there is no need to use any (objectClass=XXX) in your filter, as it will match all the entries at this level. And as we use a special index for searches starting at a position in the DIT, it's enough.

You have 3 specific index that I have not talked about :
- ONE_LEVEL index, which is used to select all the entries from a position in the DIT, plus all theirs direct children (excluding the descendants) - SUB_LEVEL index, which selects all the descendant entries from a position, except the given base DN
- RDN index : which is internally use to browse the DIT

If you have specified a baseDN, and a scope (default is SUBTREE), those index will be used anyway.
