No other Directory Server in the world is this fast or this efficient. Couple
that with the scalability, manageability, flexibility, and just the sheer
know-how behind this software, and nothing else is even remotely comparable.

H3: back-ldbm
back-ldbm was both slow and unreliable. Its byzantine indexing code was
prone to spontaneous corruption, as were the underlying database libraries
that were commonly used (e.g. GDBM or NDBM). back-bdb and back-hdb are
superior in every aspect, with simplified indexing to avoid index corruption,
fine-grained locking for greater concurrency, hierarchical caching for
greater performance, streamlined on-disk format for greater efficiency
and portability, and full transaction support for greater reliability.
