At that time I checked out both APC and eaccelerator and found eaccelerator to be the faster for my needs. Recently, and I don't recall the link, I read something that indicated eaccelerator is faster than APC. Mileage may vary though depending on individual usage patterns. Either way, I'd say they are probably fairly interchangeable.

I'm > hoping that these problems have been cleared up by now. 2006 is a century ago in open source time :P i was using turck mmcache which turned into eaccelerator for a while. i also tried xcache. however, i switched to APC over a year ago now. it's maintained by core php developers, so i figure it's the best as it would receive little "perks" due to new features/fixes being put in to the core php code and the developers implementing them working on APC. i have never done any benchmarks or anything, but i'm pretty sure they're all relatively close speed-wise. stability-wise i've never had an issue with APC.. the file upload stuff would be cool except i need something that supports multiple webservers, not shared memory on a specific host. besides, i think i've heard PHP6 will have a built in byte-code cache already, and i am sure it will use APC/portions of APC (why not, it's already there) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] APC vs. eaccelerator?
Hi All, I currently run a phpBB site using phpBB v. 2.0.22 and PHP4. We'd like to install either APC or eaccelerator to speed up the site's performance. I'm not sure whether we should choose APC or eaccelerator since I'm a newbie to PHP caching. Which do you think is better - APC or eacclerator? Here are some criteria that I'd like to use in evaluating APC vs. eacclerator: 1) compatibility, 2) stability and 3) speed. Some older posts on the net (from 2006) complained about incompatibilities between APC/eacclerator and phpBB and about crashes of APC/eacclerator. I'm hoping that these problems have been cleared up by now. Thanks for your help! David
