>(Yes, I've used opcode caching. I've never had good experiences with any of the major ones).

Just wondering, what were your experiences? Installing apc is basically apt-get install php-apc (if you're on Debian/Ubuntu), and that's about it unless you want to increase the memory limit. This will greatly reduce CPU usage.

My experience is that all the ones I've tried freeze up (is eAccelerator even around any more?).

I periodically try again.

Ah, yes, eAccelerator, I remember that one. Most people are probably using apc nowadays, and I haven't had any problems with it.

By the way: Starting with PHP 5.5, Zend's own opcode cache will be included by default.
