(RADIATOR) Radiator and Berkeley.

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Wesley -

With the new version of Radiator you can set up a LogMicroseconds 
logger (requires Time-HiRes from CPAN) that will show you the amount of 
time that is being taken for each processing step in a trace 4 debug. 
Most Radiator users tend to use SQL databases for subscribers and 
accounting.


regards

Hugh
