  See bugs.freeradius.org for an updated python module.  There's been
no feedback about it, so I'm leery of adding it in until people say it

  It's probably a combination of things.  More RAM usage, coupled with
having an interpreted language pack/unback binary data.  I'll bet if
they wrote 10% of it in C, it would run at 75% the speed of FreeRADIUS.
