I haven't done any tests, but I would presume an SQL backend would be more 'robust' than freeradius. The way I see it, having 1 request a minute is definitely faster with a users file in memory, but when the load hits and you have 10,000 hits per minute, freeradius would grind to a halt having to look up the credentials and handling all NAS comms simultaneously, while freeradius + sql would just continue doing their respective jobs as normal.
