I would like to use a http accelerator with my eZP site. I have narrowed down my choice to two candidates: Squid and Varnish.

Which one is better for eZP and gives greater performance boost?

Anyone has experience with both?

Common wisdom is:

- varnish is faster / uses less resources

- it also has support for ESI

- squid otoh can share cache between two live instances, for better scalability (and possibly fault tolerance)
