[midPoint] Approval performance issue : slow approverRef for orgs

Hello Fréderic,

when using *byClaimingWorkItem *expansion, there is a single work item 
created, with no assigneeRef, but a *candidateRef* pointing to the Org. 
This is the expected behavior. At least if I am not seriously mistaken. :)

In contrast, when using *onWorkItemCreation* expansion, a single work 
item is created *for each* Org member; with *assigneeRef* pointing to 
that member.

---

So I'd recommend to use "onWorkItemCreation". The other part 
(byClaimingWorkItem) has - besides this issue - some other, less 
serious, problems in GUI; like candidates not correctly shown, etc.

---

You can create a JIRA issue for this, describing the situation. I cannot 
promise to fix it now (or in any given moment), but it helps us to track 
the it.

Best regards,
