It is indeed what we've experienced with our tests: a simple "echo
'Auth-Type := Accept'" would take up to 100ms (more) than a "return 3"
in perl or in python.

that does indeed confirm the tests i've been doing this morning. It
does look like the rlm_python roughly as fast as rlm_perl (takes less
than a ms to answer, while the rlm_exec could take up to 100ms).<br>
I'm wondering how the "not threaded" nature of cpython will behave with
freeradius being threaded though, any clues on that?<br>
