Zend claims something else though ... Zend claims that it improves performance in most situations ("typically"): http://www.zend.com/store/products/zend-optimizer.php but yes the Optimizer makes a lot more sense when you actually cache the result and that is why the Optimizer does more optimizations when used in conjunction to the encoder or accelerator (I don't know how much the difference is though).
