At that time I checked out both APC and eaccelerator and found eaccelerator to be the faster for my needs. Recently, and I don't recall the link, I read something that indicated eaccelerator is faster than APC. Mileage may vary though depending on individual usage patterns. Either way, I'd say they are probably fairly interchangeable. Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP
