Expanding schema for user definition.
It seems that our 'user' object schema keeps growing, and growing,... (we add new attributes and classes as new applications require it). Is there any limit to the number of attributes an object can have. Is there any performance penalty beyond a certain number?
Are there limits or performance issues if the attributes are not really used (they are empty), even though we add the 'objectclass=xxxx' to all the user objects?

There is no harcoded limits with regards to Directory Server schema.
There is no impact with defining lots of attributes for an objectclass but not using them.
And there is no performance penalty beyong a certain number of attributes, but the larger are the entries, the more resources are required and thus performances are impacted. Not very significantly, but in the long run, the performance will be different from the one with the initial data.
