Benchmarking PHP accelerators

Using an accelerator with eZ publish is highly recommended. This article compares two open-source accelerators: APC and eAccelerator (a Turck-MMCache fork). The commercial Zend Platform gets a mention but is not included in the comparism.

The eZ Publish 5 Virtual Machine can be found on github at  https://github.com/brucem/vagrant-puppet-ezpublish .   It combines Vagrant, VirtualBox & Puppet to generate a VM with the current eZ Publish community version (2013.4) installed and ready to be configured. The README.md  provides details of the requirements and how to use it. Vagrant is a system that  orchestrates the automatic creation and configuration of systems. It has been used to d
