[keycloak-user] Performance loss migrating from Keycloak 1.7.0 to Keycloak 2.5.5/3.x

[Bill Burke]

Entire user is cached (role mappings, attributes, etc.) the first time 
it is accessed.  Maybe in your old User Federation Provider, you loaded 
stuff on demand?  Another thing you could try is to ditch the import.  
The new User Storage Model supports a non-import mode if you implement 
it correctly.
