Freeradius 3.0.7 and multiple buffered-sql servers - detail file issues

[Marcin]

So, which is better solution for performance: keep accounting data in
details file, then read it and write to db with buffered-sql or write
accounting to database directly?
In configuration file buffered-sql we can read:
#v+
 The server can read accounting packets from the detail file much more
quickly than those packets an be written to a database.  If the database is
overloaded, then bad things can happen.

#v-
