db level ACL filtering

Question

I am looking at Spring-security 3.0 for this, spring's ACL filtering happens as post(api call) operation. There are 2 issues with that :-

1. it will break paginated query
2. Even if i take pagination out on layer above the api fetching results( i am using spring-hibernate here) , the db query each time is wasteful as it fetches and populates all results even if most of them are destined to be filtered out at java level

I have seen solutions where each query is appended with the acl queries which does the filtering at the db level , but that looks ugly as it pollutes business logic with authorization concern, are there any ways/frameworks that does db-level acl filtering transparently ? I like spring-securities overall approach of enforcing security declaratively through config/annotations thus sparing the code from security related logic directly, but i think it loses out on this on performance concerns
