Well, there have been no performance related changes since then.

I don't really ask you to test it.  I know it works, -- but of course
with any additional install a bug might show up.

It will require more configuration (editing of /etc/pam.conf), and it
will also make things a little slower because more shared
libraries and the PAM modules would need to be mapped and invoked.
