Nice tip, I'll start using that myself.

I was basing the opcode cache recommendation on my test that showed all of
his sites were slow, one was slower. 6 seconds for one page view was the
fastest for a simple GET of the page with no resources. Should be 1 second
or less. I think APC can help with that.
