More that reading/checksumming is still too slow to be done repeatedly. 1.9 reads the file once, per connection, and then does authz lookups on lots of paths. The authz rules are fixed for the duration of the connection. 1.10 was reading and performing the checksum repeatedly as well as doing the authz lookups on lots of paths. The authz rules can change during the connection lifetime. The authz lookups are faster than 1.9 but not enough to offset the repeated reading/checksumming. 1.11 goes back to reading the file once, and still does the same authz lookups. The authz rules once again remain fixed for the duration of the connection. -- Philip
