According to it's description, the Zend Cache system compiles the script into "a closed Zend Intermediate Code format" and stores this in cache, thereby saving compiler cpu ressources each time the script is accessed. So the encoder makes your scripts faster because they are already compiled. - Carsten *<{:^)> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
