Hey Graham.

I am hopeing you can shed some light on this. I have this problem where
your module seems to chew up a lot of memory.

I am running openldap 2.0.7 with perl-ldap-0.23.

In openldap I have Aprox 95000 entrys. Each entry looks similar to this:

dn:loginName=dbs, ou=auth, dc=domain, dc=co, dc=nz
objectclass: AuthAccount
loginName: dbs
userPassword: {crypt}sgaCZydxWDFD
nasAccess: SOMETHING
smtpAuth: 0
overrideProfile: 1
multicast: 0

When I do a basic search eg:

if (!$ldap->bind("cn=Manager, $authbase", password => $authpass, async => 1)) {
	print "Ldap Bind failed!\n";
	exit 1;
}
my $mesg = $ldap->search(
        base => "$authbase",
        filter => '(objectclass=ihugAuthAccount)'
       );

$ldap->unbind;

This search seems to chew up over 250meg of Ram. It pretty much makes the
perl module unusable. Do you have any suggestions on how I could get the
memory usage down to something reasonable?

Also doing the unbind seems to take a very long time :(

Hope you can help.
Thanks in Advance.

Regards
Simon Allard
