If you are really getting 20 requests/second, that means you have to
have
< 50ms response times. The video display of debug mode probably adds
30ms
latency at minimum to each request, depending on the level of debug.
You
should always stop the service before running RadiusNT in debug mode and
only run one copy of RadiusNT. If you are not watching the debug,
minimize
the window, and the response time will be pretty close to when RadiusNT
is
running as a service.
