You don't even need to be that careful.  Just run a read-only mysql
slave instance locally on the radius server and all mysql-related
performance problems will vanish.

If you do mysql accounting: use buffered-sql aka decoupled-accounting.
It won't fix the performance issues on your accounting mysql-server, but
it will decouple the radius server from any such problems.
