Yes, you're right.

The script is invoked for each authentication request it is
supposed to handle. The program startup, initialization and
termination take certain time and resources. On the contrary,
the filter starts only once and keeps running until the main
daemon decides to stop it. Thus it is able to handle the requests
faster than the usual Exec-Program-Wait script.
