faster to response than servers matched by last rules. I thought that
the ACL evaluation time will be uniform because the whole set of rules
would be evaluated. this makes sense to someone?
This give me an extra advantage because I can sort the most important
servers first to grant a fast response to critical apps.
ACL evaluation results are stored in the idl cache, so the more a
given rule is exercised, the quicker the result sets to that rule
should be, if you have a good idl cache setting.
No they are not. Index lookups are cached by the IDL cache; that has
nothing to do with ACL evaluation.
