RE: [PHP] Free PHP runtime Accelerator for Linux available

Actually it would be interesting to get a FreeBSD port. When I've made the immediate batch of changes that I have in mind, and if things are still looking good, then volunteers to contribute builds would be welcome. Right now, even though the accelerator provides a decent speed up, the Zend Cache is going to be faster - there's really no way that it couldn't be :-) But the accelerator should get faster too, and with the core code seemingly working, the first set of changes will be to simply do some things more sensibly. After that there are a number of things that I can imagine doing to really minimise the processing required in loading a given script, but I have other things I want to work on too. I also have ideas for a project that might slash execution time more than any other extensions currently available, but again for now this will remain a 'would like to start' project. Cheers Nick

Well, I am running FreeBSD machine, but can start up my old Linux box to play with your accelerator. I'll let you know when I do that, I am kind of curious to compare it with Zend's Cache.

If you're running Linux then have you tried it yet? I'm really keen for some folks to try and break it, and either find that they can't (which looks promising at the moment), and so start getting the benefit, or expose any remaining show-stoppers so that they can get resolved asap. There are no fancy graphics, and a simple goal - * If you install it * Your scripts run quicker That's it! I'll be updating the http://212.67.208.211 site over the next few days, give it a domain name, and most importantly be updating the accelerator to hopefully yield further performance gains.

But the scripting engine is as it's part of PHP, and that's what I explored in order to write the accelerator. And now that I've studied the engine pretty intensely I've a good idea for some of the optimisations that their optimiser is probably having a go at. It's been a few fun, late nigh, and at times intensely frustrating, evenings, but I'm happy with even the sub-optimal current performance gains.
