[agnivo007]

Caching php scripts (intermediate opcode) in memory can make your dynamic pages load really fast and exert less load on the CPU of your VPS.

Typical php caching engines and accelerators are eAccelerator, xCache and APC (a PECL extension). APC is considered the best.

In this do-it-yourself tutorial, I've written about APC and easy step by step procedure to get it installed on your VPS.

Here's the complete tutorial : Cache PHP Scripts With APC PECL Module

So, try it out today; lessen system load and watch your dynamic pages fly!

depends on many factors and who you ask/who did the benchmarking and with what apps.

APC is supported by PHP developers.

You can't go very wrong with it.

The sad thing about it is that it's not compatible with Zend Optimizer...

I'd prefer eAccelerator.

apc is included from php 5.2.0 anyway isn't it?

Depends on what you are doing what the script is doing etc. We got a script that does horrible with apc but is awesome with eaccelerator for an example.
