[Help-gnu-radius] Optimizing Performance How-to?

[Lewis Watson]

I recently swapped from a radius solution than ran on Windows (ugh) to gnu
radius that is running on FreeBSD 4.7 (yay!). I am using MySQL for auth
and acct recording. I would like to have the shortest authentication time
possible. What do I want to look for and try and do to optimize
performance as far as gnu-radius is concerned? A reference to documents/
url's or answers and  experience is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
