Yes, running lots of copies of radpwtst on the same machine as Radiator will
skew the results significantly. We provide radpwtst as a test tool, not as a
high-performance radius packet generator. That is why I suggested running
multiple seperate machines, each one running an instance of radpwtst, all of
them querying the same Radiator host (you can use PC's for this, or whatever is
handy).
Have a look at section 23.0 in the Radiator 2.16.3 reference manual to see some
of the performance figures that we saw during our testing (using this
technique).

Hugh
