Are there any config tweaks to lower memory usage?  I am running version 3.2.3 and the servers have about 256MB of RAM.

  Compared to things like browsers, FreeRADIUS use zero memory.

  The main way to lower memory is to disable all modules which aren't being used.  After that, all of the memory is being used for the functionality you need.
