I can take a look when we run another test, but we pull roles from a custom
table.  So I don't think we really use the PAGS groups.  We looked at
metrics on the database during our tests and nothing like this really stood
out.  We did notice the aggregate data accounted for about 35% of all
traffic to the database.  My understanding of the code is the user
attributes are cached for 1 minute which could probably be raised to a
higher value.
