I have been working with IonCube, APC and eAccelerator. The last one had the best performance. But your 10s is really to much, I suspecting that problem is somewhere else. PHP Accelerator can help, but don't expect performance boost from 10s to 0,12s.
Thanx for the suggestion. I have fixed some server issues - and now the loadtime is about 1.4 sec ... still not too fast. Havent got too many nodes either, and the templatecode is pretty simple....
I had someone to install a php-accelerator, but and they said that there where some version conflict, and that I could not use the accelarator with php 4.4.1...
I think they tried to install the accelerator from www.php-accelerator.co.uk ... is there any problem getting a accelerator to php 4.4.1?
I hope the following information is still valid: with FreeBSD Version 5.4:
Please notice that FreeBSD is a performance killer itself, since it does a stat()-call for on every file access for every directory level. e.g. /home/youruser/public_html/ezpublish/index.php would result in 5 stat() calls. You can boost performance by placing ezpublish direct under the root directory or by using Linux as server os.
Actually, I had sub 1 second load times on FreeBSD 4.11 without eaccelerator and sub 0.2s with eaccelerator. There should be accelerators in the ports tree IIRC. (I think latest eaccelerator supports PHP 4.4)
