Function TestAuthenticationSpeed

auth/auth_time_sensitive_test.go:29–47

Test that multiple authentications of the same user/password are fast. This is an important check because the underlying bcrypt algorithm used to verify passwords is _extremely_ slow (~100ms!) so we use a cache to speed it up (see password_hash.go).
