> How many rolls can we add before it begins to be a performance hit?

There's no real limit to how many roles can exist.  The thing to watch out for 
is how many roles an individual user has.  Each role adds another term list to 
the query resolution for that user.  If a user has more than maybe a few 
hundred, you'll start to notice.

Depending on your use case, some people choose to define security groupings as 
a query (as complex as you'd like, with and's and or's and intersections) and 
then use a registered query to make the query run fast on repeated use.  This 
is best when visibilities change a lot and you don't want to have to update 
document permissions.
