Well I didn't see any delay timers in the script itself so then it should be
PHP itself. If you remind me about this like on Wed, and or Sat, then I can
setup another RADIUS and see what time monuments will I get if I try to
establish socket connection with radius and with non existing server.

The test radius was in my lan, so not open for the internet.
Just like you I can't use production servers for  playing around :-)
Anyway, the problem is not the radius or backup radius but the m0n0walls
falling over to slow when they can't reach radius1.
