OpenSAML user discussion

I can say that in testing the IdP a few years ago (it should be faster 
now after we made some improvements), I was about to get about 70 
requests a second per 2GHz Opteron core.  That was doing crypto but not 
external attribute resolution.  Today's JVMs, CPUs, and memory should 
all be more efficient and you have more cores so you can try to roughly 
extrapolate from there.
