eAccelerator or Zend Optimizer

[eSology]

Have a fresh OS on a server. Will basically being serving up simple html/php and one small vBulletin site. Dual opteron running FreeBSD 5.4.

Question is what seems to be working the best for everyone?
eAccelerator, Zend Optimizer, MMCache or a combination?

I just use Zend since it takes the least amount of time to setup.

MMCache is out since it doesn't work with the newer version of PHP and is outdated.

eAccelerator is supposedly the succesor to TurckMMCache.

You use Zend by itself? On one of my servers I have Zend and eAccelerator because I thought Zend didn't cache PHP like eAccelerator does.

install zend then eaccellerator then I reccomend disabling the optimiser part of zend so you just have the zend loader and leave eaccellerator to optimise php.

i have both zend and eAccelerator installed
work fine

You use Zend by itself?

Correct. At least at this time.

 

[servertweak]

use both, which is what i do

i use eaccelerator but heard many good things about APC. APC is develped by core php developers if i am not mistaken. eaccelerator has a known bug which can only be solved by rewriting the whole code which may not very likely to happen in the near future.
