Turck MMCache - http://turck-mmcache.sourceforge.net/ seems to be very helpful - page load time decreased from 4+ sec to 2 sec. It takes longer to load the very first page though - side effect of caching perhaps? (3.3-4)
Yip, turck is for me the best. Of the freeware accelerators out there it seems to be the best supported, usually releasing new versions to meet php versions.
However, im sure when php 5 is releases - which isnt far - all that might change...
first I used phpa - http://phpa.co.uk But I've had some troubles with ez3 (red hat 7.1 / php 4.3) at my server. I don't know if phpa has caused that but I decided to change to turck.
One additional reason: My local developer machine runs with windows and there is a windows version of turck available. (phpa doesn't support windows).
But I've read some "rumours" somewhere (in a forum or so) that the main developer of turck may has stopped the development. (e.g. there are no windows-versions of turck available for php 4.3.5 and php 4.3.6 at the turck-site)
Fortunately that's no problem at the moment for linux-servers because if you compile turck with php 4.3.6 it runs fine.
Speed: I think turck is a bit faster than phpa (but that depends from the server configuration).
Im not the best expert on PHP5 but i can see that current accelerators need to be updated somewhat to address the large differences in PHP5. It might force some of the developers to restart their work - hopefully :)
Interestingly, the turck page seems to be in the middle of being updated, im sure this wasn't happening the other day when i looked:
