[ciapug] Accelerating your PHP

[Daniel.Juliano at wellsfargo.com]

I'm guessing you've had more experience in terms of number of servers
and number of people accessing your sites, but I've been running apc and
now eaccelerator for a couple of years on some small business websites
and not had any instability.

Sorry about that. But a PHP accelerator is something i think should only
be used if absolutely necessary because it has the potential to
introduce bugs. And right now the main web server is not suffering from
performance issues. On the webmail server i ended up having to turn of
the accelerator's optimizer because it seemed to cause strange failures.
Since most of the performance boost of the accelerator comes from
caching the compiled code and not from optimizing it, that wasn't too
much of a loss. Also i'm not sure how easy it would be to make it work
on Solaris. So far my experience has been that Solaris is the Windows
version of Unix: everything is just a little more cumbersome than it
really needs to be.
