  You should use 3.2.0, but that won't help.  The problem is almost definitely your database.

  Read the *rest* of the messages in the log files.  You will likely see messages about "module sql became unblocked" or "module sql is unresponsive"/

  Something else is blocking the server, and is preventing it from doing work.  It is almost always something like a database.  Or maybe a slow Perl module, or even you're exec'ing complicated scripts.

  If you put a name and password into the "users" file, FreeRADIUS can handle 40K packets/s.  So if your local site can't handle 100 packets/s, then it's something broken in your local system.
