RE: Title - Zen optimizer
Does zen really need to be optimized?
As for Zend Optimizer, we've been running it and haven't had any problems. We never really had a time when we weren't running it so I can't really compare, but it hasn't caused any problems.Karl Zimmerman - Founder & CEO of Steadfast

It's dead easy to install. Even has an installer so upload it and then just run install.sh - takes 15 seconds.

Some applications require it.

Well Zend claims that it speeds up normal php code as well as running encoded code.
Anyone ever benchmarked the same php code with and without zend ?Paradox Web Hosting - codyw@paradox-group.com

you can find a bench mark of phpMyAdmin here:
http://turck-mmcache.sourceforge.net...old.html#bench
edit: sorry that is for the Zend Performance Suite.

Definatly try out Turck mmCache is your looking for php optimization. It works great and puts out great benchmarks.
It too is fairly easy to install. You can probably get the download url from the link to the last post ^^^
hope that helps

As for Turck mmCache, it would seem that the lead developer for that software went to work for Zend so updates are extremely slow. IonCube has a solid Accelerator for PHP and it's free to use.
A server running IonCube Accelerator would smoke the same server that is just running Zend Optimizer. However, the same server running the full Zend Suite would be much more efficient than just the IonCube accelerator.

Zend optimizer is very easy to install, and some applications require it.
Run the script you download and restart apache. Simple as pie.

Your link is referencing PHP 4.1.2 (which is now 4.3x or better) and is matched against Zend's 3.5 (Zend is at 3.6 now). Without even getting to PHP 5, the differences between Zend and their competition are much higher when comparing more current versions.
Zend has an obvious proprietary advantage as they are the developers of PHP, everyone else has to play catch-up with Zend. That's why all the benchmarks their competition uses are with older versions...
