One of the issues holding back performance of the API is the problem of hashing. Whilst banning BASIC authentication with passwords will help, the API Token scheme still requires a PBKDF2 hash - which means that heavy API use (using Tokens) can still cause enormous numbers of hash computations. A slight solution to this whilst we consider moving to using JWT based tokens and/or a session orientated solution is to simply cache the successful tokens. This has some security issues but this should be balanced by the security issues of load from hashing.
