The Cache is basically designed to prevent excess database hits. RadiusNT
2.5 doesn't have a cache and hits the DB on each request. RadiusNT 3.0 and
higher have the cache and will not hit the db on each request. There are
different paramters you can tune for how often to re-check the DB and such
to make the cache perform to your requirements and needs, as well.
