RE: Performance Question - Authority check rate exceeded gui

["Cotes, Steven" <cotess@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,
thanks for looking up the order, off the top of my head
I couldn't remember and wasn't near my books.
The significant point for I meant for John Cirocco was
that if most of your object access is via public authority
and you have even one profile with less than public,
it causes extra checking for everyone else using
public.

You ask about adopting authority impacting performance.
I'd like confirmation on this also, maybe someone else can
comment.

My understanding has been that, adopting adds overhead
but that since authority is usually granted sooner in the
check order it becomes a wash or slight net gain.

Has anyone on the list tested this ?
