I've never heard of anyone not get incredible speedups with APC. We're talking 250%+. Every (large) production PHP deployment I've seen, disabling APC would make everything fall over. They would need 3-4x as much capacity.

I think the big point here is that on a Wordpress site, most hits don't actually get as far as PHP -- most of the time, pages can be served statically from wp-supercache or similar.
