When you set up an AuthBy FILE, the contents of the file get cached inside
Radiator. We have done performance tests with a 10,000 user file that showed
almost the same performance as with a file with 3 users. Have a look at section
23 in the reference manual. Interestingly enough, DBM performance is slightly
slower.

BTW - the cached information is refreshed automatically if the file itself is
modified (Radiator checks the file modification time).
