Hello Paul,
I would tackle this by trying things in this order:
1. Improve performance of Oracle (check your indexes, file systems, migrate to
faster hardware, ...)
2. Move to a faster SQL (eg mysql)
3. Try a larger UDP buffer for Radiator (see the SocketQueueLength global
parameter)
4. Interpose another proxy Radiator that logs to file, and have the last
Radiator in the chain do SQL logging.
Hope that helps.
Cheers.
