Don't do this, Linux/Unix already cache files in memory (-> grep ^Cached /proc/meminfo). If you want to speed up your PHP app, consider APC.+1 vote for APC. The performance improvement on my website was dramatic, I had to check the results several times before I believed it. We were a heavily overloaded server whose load average was 50 at peak times. A quick "apt-get install php-apc" reduced that load to 5.0, with just a 32MB opcode cache. Cheers, Nicholas Sherlock
