There are any number of things that will slow processing down, including
trace level in Radiator, logging and accounting data recording, incorrect
indexes on databases, running radpwtst on the same machine as Radiator
(causing contention), configuration file problems, etc, etc.
You should really run radpwtst on a seperate machine and run Radiator with
Trace -1 (to turn off all logging) and use a very simple configuration file
with only an AuthBy TEST to begin with to set a benchmark figure. Then you
can start adding things like your database (which should really be on a
seperate host as well), etc.
Section 24 in the Radiator 2.17.1 manual has a table of test results compiled
using the techniques described above.
