Benchmarking 3 PHP Accelerators

jfbus writes "PHP, like all scripting languages, suffers from having to parse all script files each time a page is displayed. Accelerators (opcode caches) are necessary to speed PHP enough for large websites. Here is a benchmark of the major PHP accelerators (Zend platform, apc and eAccelerator)."

In fact, I believe it's an oddity of PHP that it needs add-ons in order to do this, and I think the next version of PHP will have fixed this.

That's one of Zend's main revenue sources. They developed PHP, they developed the accelerator. But they sell the accelerator and offer PHP free with sources as a lure.

What I'm saying is, no, it won't be fixed in the next version of PHP.
