No, you've mis-read that. It "lowers the time" i.e. makes it faster.

This is all very bizarre, debian is normal OS, and FreeRadius should 
*not* be running slower in threaded mode.

How are you measuring this performance?

What configuration changes have you made from the default (please don't 
send all your config files - just a brief description of which modules 
you've got enabled)

Could you send the debug output (i.e. "radiusd -X") for a *SINGLE* one 
of the performance-test requests?
