I'm moderately surprised V3 was that much faster, if at all.

FWIW, the maintainReverseIndex setting in the SP really only impacts artifical performance loads, and there's a similar setting in the IdP that can cause issues. You don't get that many sessions generated with a single NameID under normal usage and it takes thousands of them to degrade performance. It absolutely kills load tests though.
