Note that what you are saving by combining the files into one is just a single stat syscall per file. And that can be alleviated by setting apc.stat=0 in your config. That of course means you need to restart your server or flush your cache whenever you want to update the files. In apc.stat=0 mode you gain nothing by merging all the files. -Rasmus
