if you have eval times of 1+ seconds on a cert, this probably means that 
the service provider is doing real crypto - verifying signatures.

You don't need real crypto to do the kind of rejection of values that the 
MatchedValues control would provide - you only need to look at the cert.

Certs aren't encrypted.
