I like lmdb for the backend (confusingly, that's the MDB option when
configuring the port0 -- this has been developed by the OpenLDAP folk
specifically as a replacement for BerkeleyDB, since Oracle is taking BDB
in directions that are not useful for the purposes of LDAP.

Be sure and turn off all of the backends you aren't using in the config
step.  Compiling in some of those will have a deleterious effect on
performance even if you aren't actually using them.
