Alan,
I used the radclient on localhost.
"time /usr/local/bin/radclient -q -s -f radius.test localhost auth testing123"
The output of this command for 10000 users was:
Total approved auths: 10000
Total denied auths: 0
Total lost auths: 0
real 1m55.536s
user 0m28.046s
sys 1m12.682s
Also i have commented 'unix' in raddb/sites-available/default file.
Have attached the log below. Pls Note: The log is not complete for 10000 users. Just pasted log for few users getting authenticated.

Well... that should get 1000's of auth/s, even if you run "radclient"
on the same machine as the RADIUS server.
What are you using for load testing?
