Here is an interesting read on the subject:

Thanks for the link, and the insight into how much OpCache can already do.
I guess preloading gets us pretty close to the tool I was imagining -
OpCache could make assumptions that cross file boundaries, within the
preloaded set, and could spend longer optimizing during the preloading
phase than might be expected on a simple cache miss.
I think it will be interesting to see how tools adopt that feature, and
whether eventually we'll see autoloader functions as just a fallback
mechanism, with most packages being enumerated in advance as large
preloaded blocks.
