Josh, At least from my past experience message signing was taking lot of cpus and all of our performance run we disabled that. Never tested with Infernalis/master though by enabling auth/signatures and see the impact.. Thanks Orlando for sharing this..

Has anyone measured the overhead of message signing (the 'cephx sign messages' option)? It's on by default with cephx, but can be disabled separately. What auth settings were these tests using? It may be worth requiring message signatures by default now that it's been supported in the kernel client since 3.19.
