Only issue with radclient is it uses a single set of attributes for
every request. With a custom script I can run whatever spread of
usernames I want so that I'm not hitting the same (cached in LDAP) user
every single time. Comes down to what you're trying to test really -
best possible performance, or a more "realistic" representative of your
entire system.
