Here is what I had thought about: FreeRadius correctly treats the requests
(answer are always received), but there is a locking problem with the log
files, meaning that basically, only one thread can write inside.

Is there any solution about that? As stated before, there is no
overloading problem on the server.

Running in single thread could be a solution, but it's really slow
compared to multi-thread ...
