Hmm.. 32 bytes records.. maybe a bare-bones ldap directory?
Naturally, with 300 bytes records, you need 10G of spare ram .. etc.
Another thing.. how do you guarantee your 1GB.. (10GB.. 100GB.. etc.) of
spare ram is available when your script starts running?
Because if not, wouldn't that send your system paging/swapping like
crazy with the benefit of trashing the system with added CPU overhead
the minute your script starts running?
Enlighten me!

In the future, Samad, please refrain from posting stuff like the above
concerning my country's former President.
You and your pals may think it is funny but some of us around here may
find it quite offensive.
Thank you.
