I don't think authorization lists should slow down those back-ups, but I

Rob pointed the speed issue out already and is most likely acutely aware of
it due to the environment he supports. I assist in supporting a system
with mixed security methods with lots of private authorities and it still
only takes a few extra minutes to back up. The larger impact comes with
literally millions of security lookups per second with private authority,
thusly reduced application performance. In my view the
application performance is way more important than a few minutes to back
up. Authorization lists are clearly the superior plan if at all possible.
