With apacheds permission checks are fast too but there won’t be an audit trail.
It’s been some time since I’ve run the benchmarks against apacheds but it
somewhere on the order of 8K/second.
You can run these performance tests too, the test harness in the test package
under jmeter. There is some info about it in README.txt:

# SECTION 13. Instructions to performance test fortress core using maven
loadtest profile and jmeter.
###################################################################################
To load test fortress createSession or checkAccess performance using jmeter:
a. Update .jmx located under FORTRESS_HOME/src/test/jmeter folder.
e.g. ftCheckAccess.jmx
b. Load the security policy and users required by the jmeter test routines:
# $M2_HOME/bin/mvn install -Dload.file=./ldap/setup/LoadTestUsers.xml
c. From FORTRESS_HOME folder, enter the following command from a system prompt:
# $M2_HOME/bin/mvn -Ploadtest-ftca jmeter:jmeter
Notes:
- the above maps to ftCheckAccess.jmx
- jmx files with prefex 'ac' call fortress accelerator functions (which
requires special setup NOT covered by this document)
- jmx files with prefix 'ft' are for fortress functions (which are covered
by this document)
