Just for information: I made some tests on different machines. Around 60% of the theoretical maximum was the best value I got. The behaviour was heavy influenced by the parameters in the "thread pool" section and num_sql_socks, as I have a database backend. Norbert Wegener Alan DeKok wrote:

That's less than 10/s. I think that the virtual server is running at a clock rate of about 800MHz, maybe less.
There's some overhead/delay involved in RADIUS and EAP. But it shouldn't drop the performance by 80%.
