Probably so.  Probably just a prejudice, with it being a "database"
server that it will become a big footprint.

Maybe just seeing it's footprint on my server (where it's serving up a
smallish NSS data set) is skewing my opinion:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
30999 openldap  20   0 98.6m 5796 2676 S    0  0.9  18:26.51 slapd

I wonder how big it would be on my laptop, with an empty database.
