   I wrote a little test program to whack on the KDC as fast as the KDC
   can respond, and I've been doing some profiling of the KDC under these
   conditions.

Fabulous! What profiling utility are you using?

   Also, the lookaside cache seems of marginal value.

I'm pretty sure we disabled the lookaside cache in the OV kdc, on the
grounds that it was unnecessary and also because it was causing our
automated tests to break (I think there were some bugs tickled by
having similar requests arrive within less than a second, and perhaps
fixing them seemed like more overhead than it was worth).  jik, can
you remind us about the details?  Isn't there a long PR about this?
