[Building Sakai] Distinguishing Roles in Site Tabs

[Steve Swinsburg]

The realms should also be cached so the performance hit should be
negligible (except for first load etc). If there was a genuine issue, that
would be worth looking at. But as for anything that adds additional
lookups, load testing should be performed to ensure any hit is acceptable.

cheers,
S
