  It's not a problem with FreeRADIUS.  If you configure FreeRADIUS with
only the "users" file, it can easily do 50K to 100K packets per second.

  The problem is your database.  Fix it.  You probably don't have
indexes, or something else is wrong.

  You've made FreeRADIUS depend on MySQL, and then made MySQL slow.  So
when FreeRADIUS can't do it's job, don't blame FreeRADIUS.
