Thanks, but next release will still be better :)

Yes, we know that, but it doesn't use much CPU during a very long time.
Our ILS server already reached > 100 users without problems.

However, yes the PERL script is the limiting factor. There are not many
solutions to the problem :
- Patch the C code of OpenLDAP so that we don't need the Perl script
- Get rid of ILS and use pure LDAP and not broken LDAP

We plan to go for the second solution in the future. The problem is that
it becomes incompatible with Netmeeting, but I really think that in the
long term, people should stop using broken protocols like ILS.
