Performance of ContainerRequestFilter implementation

Hi Guys.
Just wondering if anyone can tell me much about the performance of
ContainerRequestFilter implementations. I have created a very simple
implementation, looking at basic auth headers, using temporarily the Base64
example from the Jersey examples. To keep things incredibly simple I have
just hardcoded users and passwords for the authentication aspect. When I
plugged the filter in to my web.xml, my load test results using Apache
Benchmark worsened drastically. Has anyone else experienced anything
similar ?

Thanks in advance for your help,
