  If your server is busy enough to be heavily loaded, you need multiple
machines to maintain quality service.  Once you have multiple machines,
DB performance matters a lot less, because the load is spread across
multiple machines.

  For DB specific issues, look for DB performance on google.  PostgreSQL
usually has better performance than MySQL.  The application using the DB
(radius, web, etc.) has very little effect on DB performance.
