We use VPD's for our visibility customers and do not seem to have much of a performance issue with the VPD's - partly I would think it would depend on how detailed your rules are within the VPD. Using the VPD context also helps cut down on maintenance. One of our visibility domains consists of 787 users - with 780 of those containing vpd profiles and do not see a performance hit, but our rules in this scenario are pretty basic. For this particular customer, in order to keep the rules basic, we have a shipment refnum qual coming in with the shipment that identifies the customer's client id. We base the profile on that refnum qual and val and it works great for us. Also keep in mind that even tho you might have thousands of users, only so many of them will be active concurrently online. As every setup is diff - You could always try a couple of different solutions and see what works best for you.

Thanks,
