This is, unfortunately, a known bad interaction between Kerberos on the
web and the way we implement ticket forwarding.  We make a request to
the KDC for a fresh TGT each time we forward Kerberos tickets, which is
fine for use cases like ssh, but is very inefficient when you're doing
negotiate auth with ticket forwarding on a whole bunch of HTTP requests.
