FWIW:
 - If its responding within 1 second consistently its within our
current performance goal
 - if its (ever) slower than 9 seconds it will timeout and fixing it
to be <9 will be a critical bug
 - if you want it faster outside these parameters, the best thing to
do is to use the stakeholders escalation process, or submit patches.

Nothing with an auth header gets cached.
