That's what we have done. We have a fairly large application which serves a lot of users. We
abandoned
the SPOPS object security model and implemented an application level security instead for
performance.
We have places where we need object level security but we try to avoid that situation. In my
opinion, SPOPS is great for small applications and in theory it makes your application very secure
if you use it in combination with application level security. In larger applications it becomes
the single performance hog and you have to come up with custom optimization to get things done.
