Yes. There are basically two kind of caches. Output cache and opcode cache. There are two modules in PEAR for output cache - Cache and Cache_Lite: http://pear.php.net/package-info.php?pacid=40 http://pear.php.net/package-info.php?pacid=99 There are several bytecode caches - PHPA, APC, After Burner, Zend and Turck. http://www.php-accelerator.co.uk/ http://apc.communityconnect.com/ http://afterburner.bware.it/ http://www.zend.com/store/products/zend-accelerator.php http://www.turcksoft.com/en/e_mmc.htm Best results can be achieved by using both output and opcode cache together. I am currently benchmarking and writing a short article about results using Cache_Lite and PHPA in differents modes together. Will send you an url offlist, since its still work in progress and I only have the numbers ready (will share it with the rest later). -- Mika Tuupola http://www.appelsiini.net/~tuupola/
