Battle of the Accelerators

Turck MMCache - http://turck-mmcache.sourceforge.net/ seems to be very helpful - page load time decreased from 4+ sec to 2 sec. It takes longer to load the very first page though - side effect of caching perhaps?

Hi,

first I used phpa - http://phpa.co.uk
But I've had some troubles with ez3 (red hat 7.1 / php 4.3) at my server. I don't know if phpa has caused that but I decided to change to turck.

One additional reason: My local developer machine runs with windows and there is a windows version of turck available. (phpa doesn't support windows).

But I've read some "rumours" somewhere (in a forum or so) that the main developer of turck may has stopped the development. (e.g. there are no windows-versions of turck available for php 4.3.5 and php 4.3.6 at the turck-site)

Fortunately that's no problem at the moment for linux-servers because if you compile turck with php 4.3.6 it runs fine.

Speed: I think turck is a bit faster than phpa (but that depends from the server configuration).

Kind regards,
Emil.

Best wishes,
Georg.

Im not the best expert on PHP5 but i can see that current accelerators need to be updated somewhat to address the large differences in PHP5. It might force some of the developers to restart their work - hopefully :)

Interestingly, the turck page seems to be in the middle of being updated, im sure this wasn't happening the other day when i looked:
