Hi all, I decided to run my standard phpMyAdmin test without APC enabled and got startling results from siege:
Date & Time, Trans, Elap Time, Data Trans, Resp Time, Trans Rate, Throughput, Concurrent, OKAY, Failed 2008-06-20 02:02:35, 915, 60.01, 1, 0.98, 15.25, 0.02, 14.88, 915, 0 <-- phpMyAdmin on disk 2008-06-20 02:05:04, 911, 60.04, 1, 0.98, 15.17, 0.02, 14.86, 911, 0 <-- phpMyAdmin in phar with phar.cache_list That's right - they are identical in performance. With APC, there is a performance difference (I'm not sure why, to be honest, this one is really hard to profile): Date & Time, Trans, Elap Time, Data Trans, Resp Time, Trans Rate, Throughput, Concurrent, OKAY, Failed 2008-06-20 01:34:00, 2735, 59.72, 5, 0.33, 45.80, 0.08, 14.95, 2735, 0 <-- phpMyAdmin on disk 2008-06-20 01:36:11, 2409, 60.14, 5, 0.37, 40.06, 0.08, 14.95, 2409, 0 <-- phpMyAdmin in phar with phar.cache_list However, the difference is negligible. Thanks to Gopal for the mini-tutorial on using copy-on-write to implement phar.cache_list, and kcachegrind for finding the obvious bottlenecks.
