Hi

Is this the first time the query is run? Performance should be much better if you let the permission cache do its job. There are also some improvements that will be made specifically for evaluating READ access.

You can also improve performance if you limit the size of the result set (and probably reduce the number of permission checks).

There is no way to avoid permission checks via the public API. That is the point.

Global permissions/roles will evaluate faster - eg. if you want everyone to have READ access to everything then set this in the permission config rather than on company home.

Is there a possibility to hold the permission cache when the server reboots?
