Page loading is very slow with ngx_http_auth_pam_module

I built libpam --with-debug configuration and collect logs while logging 
with nginx and saw that libpam opens configurations and parses them at 
each single request. I think this is the problem. Is there anyone how to 
solve this issue ?


Kind regards,
