Well, I've done a lot of testing for MIT on those libraries, and MIT 
kerberos libs still are not as fast as the Heimdal ones.  There is also the 
added bit now that you would have to disable the mutex locks in Cyrus-SASL 
for MIT builds to even test this.  In addition, to get any sort of speed 
from the MIT libraries, you have to disable the replay cache.
