Django CMS definitely has more features than Wagtail (and contributors, and impressive example sites). There's a large grid of CMSs and features at
https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/CMSAppsComparison which we haven't added ourselves to yet. We want to resist getting into a CMS feature race - the focus for Wagtail is providing a thoughtful and attractive user interface, and making it as easy as possible for designers to build beautiful sites. As for performance, we haven't done any proper benchmarking, but it feels very fast!
We already support LDAP auth, and CAS and / or Shibboleth is on the roadmap for the near future. More importantly, we'll have proper Sphinx docs soon, with details of the features that are already available.
