Thanks for the reply.

1. Yes we have enumeration enabled due to legacy applications. 
2. If some objects are removed from LDAP/AD server, but they would expire in local persistent cache based on timeout value. What is downside of leaving expired entries in persistent cache besides just space. I am assuming that enumeration look up and lookup of those objects would not return them since they are expired. 
3. What is downside if we increase ldap_purge_cache_timeout to a large value, so it does not get run.
4. is cleanup_users/cleanup_groups are debug_level 9 entries, which corresponds to this cleanup ? 

Thanks,
Sanjay Agrawal

Yes, the issue as described in the bugzilla ticket is fixed.

If you have enumeration enabled the purge is not enabled to improve
performance but to make sure objects which are deleted on the LDAP
server are deleted in SSSD's cache as well. So it is part of the
enumeration functionality and cannot be disabled.

In general we do not recommend to enable enumeration only if there are
specific reason, e.g. legacy applications. May I ask if you have
enumeration enable and if yes, why?

see above

You can increase the debug_level and inspect the logs covering the time
of the high CPU load. For this you can add 'debug_level = 9' to the
[domain/...] section, restart SSSD and let it run for a couple of hours.
Then remove the 'debug_level' option and restart SSSD to avoid further
logging.

Sumit
