I've tried it with an actual NAS and radpwtst on the LAN. Same thing. It
takes 45 secs before its even processed.

Like I said, it takes approx. 45 seconds before the external program is
even executed but takes about 0.4 to 0.5 seconds to process.

I did let Radiator run for about a minute and found the ff. statistics:

Total Access-Requests = 24
Total Accounting-Requests = 229
Duplicate Accounting entries and dropped = 97

Hope this helps.

1. is it possible that you are not receiving the accounting request from the
NAS when you think you are?

ie is it taking 45 seconds because Radiator is not getting the request from the
NAS straight away?

(You can check this by looking at the Radiator log at trace level 4. Its also
worth doing some testing with radpwtst, which sends the accounting request
straight away)

2. Is it possible that the external accounting process is starting straight
away, but its taking a long time to do the insert (perhaps because of the way
your accounting table indexes are set up ?)

Cant say much more that that without seeing your radiator log file at trace
level 4.

Cheers.
