Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 Replying to [comment:29 sambauers]:
 > I don't understand the "extra column per site" requirement. I was saying
 that to make things fast you would need an extra column in wp_usermeta
 that was a varchar so that the meta_value on "XX_capabilities" keys could
 be stored there instead (and indexed).

 If you've a WP install and a BB install, you've two separate roles/caps.
 So the correct implementation would be a roles table per site, as you
 highlight. Rather than two extra columns in the users table.
