  The "thread pool" section controls the number of *threads*.  Not "processes".

  It should be fine.  People were running FreeRADIUS with hundreds of threads in 2005.

  No, FreeRADIUS will start 64 threads.  And the rlm_perl modules will all be able to communicate with each other.

  I have no idea what that means.
