In my experience with B1-B3 functionality UNIXes auditing is what has
the most effect on the speed of the system. (Authorisation is a
sufficiently small part of the kernel load that doubling or trebling its
cost is relatively insignificant. Auditing code can end up in the top
ten kernel functions CPU-time wise.)
