Grouper Developers Forum

I've updated some documentation and added some text to the "ant help"  
target.

I have tagged this as ldappc_1_1_RC2 in CVS.

In particular, I added a performance tuning section, meager though it  
is, to the user manual.

One of the most important things you can do in this version of ldappc  
to improve your grouper provisioning performance is to include the  
Grouper subject ID in the LDAP directory, index it, and specify it as  
the search criteria is the source subject lookups in the ldappc.xml  
file. It eliminates the need to do a Subject API lookup, which cannot  
be joined with anything in the Grouper tables, and kills performance.

The other things are the two initial-cache-size attributes on the  
<groups> and <source-subject-identifier> elements to initialize the  
hash table sizes. This prevents memory allocation/deallocation as more  
and more items are grabbed from the database and the sources.
