Hi, Recently we bought Zend Guard and because of Zend encoder we have to use another Opcode cacher other than APC. After searching net I found eAccelerator. After installing eAccelerator with Zend Guard I saw more than %30 percent performance lost against Normal PHP + APC.

Wouldn't it be better to talk to Zend directly about this? Since you've purchased their software they give you support and are pretty helpful. Really ???, Owww how can I miss this.... Maybe you did not notice they sell own Expensive opcode cache... If I understand your point of view, I can guess your reply. "If you had rich enogh to buy a encoder, you can buy that zend cache".

If you have a performance drop of that much something is going wrong with the interaction between zend & apc. Two sets of people can solve this: - zend - apc. Zend is the obvious choice because they have access to their source code. Plus you paid for their software - which includes support. They might just go "Option X in APC doesn't work well with Zend Guard - change this setting" Or they might go "Hey, that's really crap, no idea what's going on there - give us access to your server or send us a backtrace" Or they might say something else.
