Re: [INTERNALS-WIN] apc problems on win7-64bit

hi, There are two different questions here. On Thu, Dec 1, 2011 at 10:39 AM, Gaetano Giunta <giunta.gaetano@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello all I'm using php 5.3.8 + apache 2.2.21 from apachelounge, and the latest APC from Pierre's builds (php_apc-3.1.8-dev+igbinary-1.1.2-dev-20110321-5.3-ts-vc9-x86.zip), on a win 7 pro 64 bit machine. I am testing perfs using eZ Publish, and I have a very strange behavior: when APC is enabled, only a few files seem to be cached (less than 20). When running the same app on linux, more than 120 files are cached. Also the time to execute a page does not decrease at all - running ab with a concurrency of 1, I get 1.2 secs per page.

We see totally different numbers here, do you have some smaller cases to reproduce this problem? Or should I try using a std ezpublish install?

I tested apc with a simple helloworld.php script, and indeed there is some difference: from 2.21 1.94 msec per page, from 451 to 513 requests per second (using 1 concurrent clients). If you could try a standard eZ Publish install, that would be great!

I noticed when turning stat off, that the list of files in apc cache (as per apc.php) have conflicting pathnames: some are full paths, some relative, some use windows slashes, some unix slashes. Might this have an impact? (note: there is no stream wrapper usage in eZ afaik) Is this a known problem / did anyone else experience it? Shall I file a bug?

Turning off stat works well only if an app is written for it, ban _once, use absolute paths, etc.

This is definitely not the case here. I thought it would not work, and disabled it only to see if it could help in troubleshooting my problem - and I was surprised to see the list of cached files using such diverse paths...

Cheers,
