I think we have to start thinking about this. People are comparing system 
performance with audit disabled and enabled and not compiled in at all. The 
hit is significant. We need to see what can be done to make it better.

I like this. Easy to contain the changes without a big change to any patch. 
But just to be sure, I'm not talking only about the one case I posted. 
syscall_entry & exit are a bigger hit as it affects all syscalls.
