Description

This page

http://itst.net/654-php-on-fire-three-opcode-caches-compared

has a benchmarking exercise (see chart linked to at the bottom) which shows apc to be a faster opcode cache for apache on windows when compared to eaccelerator, which is currently used.

Making the switch is easy - follow the instructions here

http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_APC_in_Windows

whilst commenting the eaccelerator bits of php.ini

Good luck getting the latest version of APC, 3.0.19. The PECL site ( http://pecl4win.php.net/ext.php/php_apc.dll ) has 3.0.17-dev for download even though 3.0.19 is the latest. I posted a bug about it here:

and nobody has replied yet.
