I have just got into understanding kerberos.  I would like to 
understand overhead in terms of performance, when having kerberos.

In Online Transaction processing, their are requests comming at a rate
of 50 requests/second and server would be spending time servicing the requests.
I would think that their would be a lot over head if authenticator ticket 
is to be generated for each request.  

Please help me understand basic design of applications and where is kerberos
useful, and can i use kerberos at user level application.

thanks 
trip
