Would using a 'static' userdb instead of prefetch help?

e.g.
  # static settings generated from template
  userdb static {
    # Template for settings. Can return anything a userdb could normally
    # return, eg.: uid, gid, home, mail, nice
    #
    # A few examples:
    #
    #  args = uid=500 gid=500 home=/var/mail/%u
    #  args = uid=500 gid=500 home=/home/%u mail=mbox:/home/%u/mail nice=10
    #
    args = uid=112 gid=112 quota=maildir:storage=10240
  }
