I read it as saying that you had krb5 enabled on your mountpoint, but what you really said was just that you have compiled up the module. OK, could you please describe your environment a bit. Do you have lots of different users logged in at the same time, or do you perhaps use newgrp or su to switch uid/gids a lot on your processes? I'm trying to see if there might be a reason for the lookup in the credcache being such a heavy duty operation in your setup.
