Monitoring connectivity to authentication

[A.L.M.Buxey at lboro.ac.uk]

Hi,


in the first instance I would suggest you did some full benchmarking to see how many auths/sec your current 2.x
systems can do.   in that way, the results will tell you the authentication time and what your server can handle now

thus you then have something to compare after the upgrade (if on same hardware and/or same resources).  obviously
there are some of the new 3.x features you can use - if 3.1.x used then even more features (and you'd be more readily
shifted to 3.2.x then too.....)
