[Openstack] [OpenStack] [Keystone] Performance difference between ferret and uuid tokens

Hello,

I read a blog about performance comparison between fernet and uuid tokens.
They said that fernet tokens is 30% faster for creation but 400% slower for
validation. Is it true?

I want to use Keystone for Swift. I will have many requests with the same
tokens so I need faster validation than faster creation. I would use uuid
tokens but fernet tokens give us very good pros (we don't need to use a
database). So, I decided to cache all fernet tokens on the Swift Proxy side
for 30 minutes. Will the performance be the same for checking tokens in a
cache or fernet tokens will still be 400% slower?

Sincerely,
Alexandr
