Hi Nikolas,

not really I'm afraid, mainly since I don't know how to properly do it.
I've just run an ab apache benchmark on an indling development server 
which doesn't show any real difference, 9.48 requests per second for the 
original authentication, 9.67 for my extension (one thread, 1000 
requests, simple page).

I don't know how "ab" handles cookies and if it is a suitable tool for 
testing something like this.
I'll switch on that "Jet Profiler" later when there is more traffic on 
our server to check if the slow hanging queries in fe_sessions and 
fe_users have dropped. But that result will be a subjective reading and 
no real benchmark.

Still. I very much believe that performing 1 request for a guest user 
instead of 7 will make some difference.

Regards,
Christopher
