[RADIATOR] Radiator performance

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Alex -

The best way to see what is happening with your authentications is to run Radiator with a Trace 4 debug and a LogMicroseconds logger (requires Time-Hires from CPAN) so you can see how long each processing step is taking.

Something like this in your configuration file:

.....

Trace 4

<Log FILE>
	Filename %L/microseconds-%Y-%m-%d.log
	# requires Time-Hires from CPAN
	LogMicroseconds
	Trace 4
</Log>

.....

This will add a six digit microseconds offset in each debug timestamp so you can see where the delays are.

Once we have the LogMicroseconds debug we can see exactly what is happening.

regards

Hugh

NB: 

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive (www.open.com.au/archives/radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets), 
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
