    Rasmus, is that behaviour by design?  I deinstalled APC
    because of this 'characteristic' last week.  It was killing a
    high-traffic site.

I think the main hint you need is to never use require_once/include_once with an opcode cache. Those are the only ones that will cause an open() call. You should only be seeing a single stat() call per file under APC (needed to get the inode+device hash key for the shared memory lookup). -Rasmus

This explains why we did not get nearly the performance from APC that we did from eAccelerator. I thought it was odd. Brian.
