First time startup for the given DB_CONFIG setting.  How long it takes to 
start depends on the cachesize value set in the DB_CONFIG file.  If this is 
the very first time slapd has ever started, or if they've changed that 
cachesize value, then the BDB environment has to be created (or recreated). 
slapd will not start listening until that is finished.  If I have a 128GB 
BDB cachesize, slapd will take a lot longer to start than if it is 8GB. 
etc.
