My perl authentication handler works fine BUT the biggest problem inside my

I would use Apache::Session and store a cookie that says that this user
is authenticated. The session would include to be set for REMOTE_USER.
The user would only get the session cookie if they had successfully
authenticated.
It should work fine and will likely solve your performance problem.
