eAccelerator: Now With Support for PHP 5.1
I was installing a fresh LAMPS environment for an ITS server (the Case Wiki's final home no less) and saw that eAccelerator now supports PHP 5.1! PHP 5.1 was tons faster over 5.0.x, however, nothing could prepare me for how fast PHP is now with 5.1 + eAccelerator. What makes it even better is MediaWiki has built-in support for eAccelerator, using the eAccelerator API to cache common SQL requests. Needless to say, the Case Wiki will be much faster once it is deployed on its new home. I can't wait to complete the transition.
