PHP performance boost from eaccellerator?

[Don Chambers]

Anyone try this: http://eaccelerator.net/ with s9y? I need to get some performance boosts on a particular server and wondered if it might be worth considering.

Just tried this on my 32mb slug running at 266 mhz and it definitely feels quicker with fastcgi.

My php only has 16mb memory to play with, but it seems to rock.

Thanks, not sure if the cache plugin is getting in the way or helping ?

Hi!

This DEFINITELY helps. A lot. Parsing can be improved often by a factor of 2 or 3.

Is this the same thing as the Zend accelerator?

Garvin - did you try eAccellerator specifically with s9y, or are you speaking in general terms?

Sonichouse - this server has 8Gb RAM, but is also running 10 high traffic s9y installs, but I still need a performance boost if I can get it. Thanks for your input everyone. It will be a week or 2 before I can test it though as I am about to leave for vacation for a week.

Hi!

I'm more speaking of general terms. Personally, I am using APC from PECL.

But opcode caches all do the same, it does not really matter which one you pick, as long as you do pick one.

I read somewhere that APC may be integrated into php6 in the future, so perhaps I will take a cloer look at that one. Opinions on which is better seem to vary.

Any tips you can give me on using APC specifically with s9y? I'm running 1.3.x and use mod rewrite, should that matter.
