Server Load

Turck is only marginally faster than the Zend optimizer (the full version, not the free one that comes with PHP nowadays), and it isn't reccommended to have both installed (though you can)

Turck actually stat's the source every time, to see if it changed. I haven't had any issues with it using old versions, though I used to with mod_perl (found the way to change it). You can even tell it not to cache specific extentions, too.

I think that layered will take pretty much any payment, and they have a pretty sweet blowout going on now.

Whatever you pick, goodluck and godspeed

But is is open source , you can modify it and rebuild it, removing anything that you would rather do manually, so that you increase the speed by even more .

Well, that, and Zend Performance Suite (The comprable product from Zend) costs $995/cpu/year. Zend Optimizer, the free product doesn't really provide much if any of a performance boost, it's mainly there to run Zend encoded PHP files.

Oh, and according to the Turck site, it also outperforms the $1000 Zend Performance Suite

When I installed it a month ago or so I did notice a large improvement in the sites response time. I'll have to look into the MMCache thing later this week.
