In general FreeRADIUS will never be the bottleneck unless you are doing 
things like calling external scripts (instead of using 
rlm_perl/rlm_python). What you should do is make sure that your database 
can handle the load (create indexes, enlarge cache size etc).
See the testimonials page on http://www.freeradius.org/testimonials.html 
for actual cases.
Don't expect your installation to handle more than a few 
transactions/sec unless you are handling way too much traffic.As long as 
your sql dabatase is quick enough you won't have any problems.
You can find a few performance tips on a page of my blog at

Hope this helps
