> Running 2^10 rounds of bcrypt can take a while.  In environments (like PHP) 
> where connections are not typically long-lived, authenticating can add 
> substantial overhead.  On IRC, one user saw the time to connect, 
> authenticate, and execute a query jump from 5ms to 150ms with authentication 
> enabled ([debug logs|http://pastebin.com/bSUufbr0]).
> CASSANDRA-7715 is a more complete fix for this, but in the meantime (and even 
> after 7715), this is a good option.
