restrict_owner = true may indeed incur an additional penalty, but on my 
test environment I don't have lots of users, so restrict_owner can't be 
blamed for the slowness (which is quite noticeable, with or without 
restrict_owner set).

But OTOH you're right about restrict_owner being problematic, as a 
change in the permissions could be another reason for invalidating the 
cache. Note that once this gets fixed, the problem with restrict_owner 
(#4245) will become less critical.
