The usual procedure I follow when designing Radiator systems is to look 
at the anticipated load first, then design a system to cope with that 
load.

In virtually all of the projects that I have been involved in the 
performance problems have been in external resources, especially 
database backends.

A single instance of Radiator is a single process which will not use 
multiple processors.

Many Radiator customers use two instances of Radiator, one for 
authentication and one for accounting.

Radiator is not multi-threaded at this time.

together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
