pg_field_type first call is very slow

Description

Problem: function pg_field_type first call (after run php script) is very slow.
The following code:

$connection = pg_connect("...") or die('Cannot connect db');
$res = pg_query($connection, 'SELECT 100');

$time0 = microtime(true); pg_field_name($res, 0);
$out[] = '(query 1) pg_field_name() first call = '.number_format((microtime(true) - $time0) * 1000, 4).' мс';

$time0 = microtime(true); pg_field_size($res, 0);
$out[] = '(query 1) pg_field_size() first call = '.number_format((microtime(true) - $time0) * 1000, 4).' мс';

$time0 = microtime(true); pg_field_type($res, 0);
$out[] = '(query 1) pg_field_type() first call = '.number_format((microtime(true) - $time0) * 1000, 4).' мс';

$time0 = microtime(true); pg_field_type($res, 0);
$out[] = '(query 1) pg_field_type() second call = '.number_format((microtime(true) - $time0) * 1000, 4).' мс';

$res = pg_query($connection, 'SELECT 200');

$time0 = microtime(true); pg_field_type($res, 0);
$out[] = '(query 2) pg_field_type() first call = '.number_format((microtime(true) - $time0) * 1000, 4).' мс';

$time0 = microtime(true); pg_field_type($res, 0);
$out[] = '(query 2) pg_field_type() second call = '.number_format((microtime(true) - $time0) * 1000, 4).' мс';

print_r($out);
<?php

Resulted in this output:

Array (
    [0] => "(query 1) pg_field_name() first call = 0.0069 мс"
    [1] => "(query 1) pg_field_size() first call = 0.0031 мс"
    [2] => "(query 1) pg_field_type() first call = 46.6821 мс"  // FIRST CALL IS VERY SLOW (pg_field_type)
    [3] => "(query 1) pg_field_type() second call = 0.0050 мс"
    [4] => "(query 2) pg_field_type() first call = 0.0069 мс"
    [5] => "(query 2) pg_field_type() second call = 0.0029 мс"
)

But I expected this output instead:

Array (
    [0] => "(query 1) pg_field_name() first call = 0.0069 мс"
    [1] => "(query 1) pg_field_size() first call = 0.0031 мс"
    [2] => "(query 1) pg_field_type() first call = 0.0050-0.0069 мс"  // MUST BE
    [3] => "(query 1) pg_field_type() second call = 0.0050 мс"
    [4] => "(query 2) pg_field_type() first call = 0.0069 мс"
    [5] => "(query 2) pg_field_type() second call = 0.0029 мс"
)

PHP Version

PHP 8.1

Operating System

Debian 11 (bullseye)

Start with the supplied PHP reproduction using pg_connect(), pg_query(), and pg_field_type() on PHP 8.1 with PostgreSQL, comparing the first and subsequent calls. Trace the PostgreSQL field-type lookup path to identify why the first call takes about 46 ms; done means the first call no longer has the unexplained delay and the observed timing is covered by a regression check.
