Yes it's worryingly low,

This is with the G5 optimisation compiler flags passed to GCC...
Though i'm not sure it's taking them ...

should just be

env CFLAGS=-O3 -mcpu=970 -mtune=970 -mpowerpc64
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freeradius-cvsfast

make
make install ...

But the configure script doesn't seem to take notice of the CFLAGS env 
variable , so does not pass the flags to the compiler at build time.

Have you had anyone else running FreeRADIUS on a G5 feed back about 
performance ?

Will try machine to machine on monday, or later today if I have time, 
though I suspect the performance will probably be worse.

top reveals that radclient is running at about 70% utilization and 
radiusd at 104%.

These boxes are not under any kind of load and have a pretty vanilla 
install of Mac OSX Server 10.4.9.
Can't figure out why it's so slow.
