eap authentication and cpu utilization

[Norbert Wegener]

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.
