I've been talking to my host admin about PHP accelerator to boost the speed of my eZ Publish installation. But he claims that with the amount of INSERTs the system does, the accelerator will have to recompile the PHP scripts all the time, and thus create more overhead in pre/-compiling than it would without the accelerator. I don't have any experience with accelerators, so I can't say that I know one way or the other. But I assume there's a reason the community seems to be consistent in recommending PHP accelerators. <b>So I just wanted to hear with the eZ community: How does the recommended accelerators work? Do they recompile everything when content is published, or just related PHP files? Is there any point in installing a PHP accelerator with great amount of content publishing?</b> The site in question has a very active community, with forum posts every 2-5 minutes, in some periods. The average response time with caching enabled, but no PHP accelerator, is between 4-5 to 10-20 seconds.
