PEAR Cache_Lite vs the Alternative PHP Cache (APC) Wrap-up

While it does appear that the Alternative PHP Cache (APC) is faster then PEAR Cache_Lite, it is only marginally faster. After comparing a total of 3,000 unique cache write and cache reads APC was only 0.0003 seconds faster.

Since APC is not bundled with PHP and it generally requires additional installation and configuration steps it doesn't seem to be well matched for Odin Assemble.

We'd love to hear any insights you may have from personal expierence with APC. Let us know your thoughts!
