Can you explain how this is better or functionally different from the behavior of APC? APC caches bytecode this way too. Unless I've horribly misunderstood something, when you include the file APC uses the cached bytecode as long as it is available and the file was not since modified. If the file was modified APC recompiles it and caches the bytecode. Sounds like the same net result to me, except that APC is less complicated, requires no code changes, and automatically clears its own cache. Did I miss something? John Crenshaw Priacta, Inc.
