>
> The principal cache in Jackrabbit normally does a good job in ensuring good
> performance in critical areas like ACL evaulation. However, the cache only
> includes successful principal lookups, so an ACE that references a missing
> (or mistyped) principal can cause notable performance issues as a new
> principal lookup is needed whenever the node covered by such an ACL is
> accessed.
> To solve that problem I propose that we extend the principal cache to also
> cover negative principal lookups.
