In the case of Classic server, it makes perfect sense!

Each connection launches a new instance of the engine, which needs to
read the conf file in order to get the settings.


In the case of SuperServer, it does make any sense! (ie. it's a bug)

The engine reads the conf file once on startup and caches the values
thereafter.
