user.Current is slow on Windows sessions connected to an Active
Directory domain. This is because it uses Windows APIs that do RPC
calls to the domain controller, such as TranslateAccountW and
NetUserGetInfo.
This change speeds up user.Current by using the GetUserNameEx API
instead, which is already optimized for retrieving the current user
name in different formats.
These are the improvements I see with the new implementation:
