This is wrong configuration.

1) All these

      set $server_type     prod;
      set $medias_path     /var/www/xxxx/medias;
      ...

are not macros, but run-time directives. They will run every request.
It's much better to set them in place:

      fastcgi_param SERVER_TYPE  prod;
      fastcgi_param MEDIAS_PATH  /var/www/xxxx/medias;

2) This

      if (!-e $request_filename) {
          rewrite ^(.+)$ /index.php$1 last;
          break;
      }

is one of the worst configuration practice.
Never do this, never repeat this.

The right way is:

    location / {
        try_files   $uri  @kohana;
    }

    location @kohana {
        fastcgi_pass  127.0.0.1:9000;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/index.php;
        fastcgi_param DOCUMENT_URI    /index.php$uri;
        ... other fastcgi_params
    }
