Ok. - one thing which makes me wonder though:
If I monitor the process with "slapcat | grep 'dn: o=' | wc -l"
to get an estiamte of how much has been replicated, it sometimes
decreases !?!?

The database has a lot of nodes (~160.000) below the root with DN o=...

Is it expected that that number will not be strictly rising, or is it a
sign that there's some other thing going on making it slow?
