First of all please let me say: This mail was not intended as "bitchin" against APC. Maybe APC is great if you get it to work. But maybe Turck is also. And we already have several "flavours" of template-engines in PEAR. So this was just a thought ... no diss about APC. Well, I tried installing APC some while ago - and a colleague of mine tried recently. We both tried using APC with the PHP-versions we had installed (mine was a cgi-version of PHP 4.3.0 afaik, his was a module-version of PHP 4.3.4 that ships with Fedora Linux). We both managed to get APC compile. But when it came to loading and actually caching it seemed to be impossible to get APC running. Maybe these are just some bad experiences I had with it. Pierre even told me not to use any compilers / bin-PHP-caches at all because of major problems he has had in the past. So currently I'm working with cached Smarty-templates and various other optimisations instead. But it would be nice to find a fast and realiable (!) cache some day ... Regards, Stefan Neufeind
