MySQL should be able to handle up to 64TB of data and half billion rows 
without much trouble.

What version of PF you are running?  There might be some missing indexes 
in the radacct tables to add.  The queries are also a bit complex. 
Maybe we can "use" your system to investigate the bottlenecks.

You could potentially keep 3 months of data for example.  All radacct 
sessions are timestamped as well as all radacct_log entries.

Thanks.
