[whups] Any idea how can I speed up whups for a non-admin user with a lot of queues?

The solution is to do something in Whups::permissionsFilter to load all 
queue permissions in one batch, then call hasPermission() on each one, 
instead of calling hasPermission() one by on which loads them one at a 
time. I don't have time to code this at the moment, and unfortunately 
it doesn't look like there's anything exposed by the Perms api that 
does this in a straightforward way. getTree() might do it implicitly, 
but that also loads everything, not just the whups:queue:* perms. We 
may need to add something and test for its existance.
