Here we have one Xeon, ~320 users (can't say how many are active) and
also OpenLDAP 2.2.13 with a slightly modified ldap config. In the past
only missing indexes on PostgreSQL have been a problem and restarts due
to ldap not releasing connections (Error: to many open files) which
required the services (openexchange, ldap and tomcat5) to be restarted.

We have the following indexes defined in slapd.conf:
===========================================
# Indices to maintain for this database
index objectClass                       eq,pres
index ou,cn,mail,surname,givenname      eq,pres,sub
index uidNumber,gidNumber,loginShell    eq,pres
index uid,memberUid                     eq,pres,sub
index nisMapName,nisMapEntry            eq,pres,sub

# Logout idle clients after x seconds
# ...to fix 'to many open files' error messages
idletimeout 300
===========================================

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
