There is nothing we can do about the MS Access ODBC driver. It has
known
problems and memory issues. This is one of the reasons why Emerald
doesn't support MS Access. Hitting a SQL Server ODBC driver RadiusNT
gives rock solid response times w/out a single glitch. I watched the
memory for RadiusNT and it was within 1k of where it was when RadiusNT
started. Here is a sample clip from 1000 requests. The highest was
170ms (this is hitting a SQL Server with full ODBC authentication btw).
