I know this is slightly off-topic but I think SPOCP had something
like a SAML PDP frontend once (but I may be miss-remembering) and
SPOCP could do 20k+ rule evaluations per second over 10 years ago.

IF performance is a real issue (and perhaps more so than XACML)
then talk to Roland about resurrecting SPOCP...
