Which one would you choose ; XCache or APC?

Question

I need a opcode-cache in my project. Also i will use for the datastore (mysql returned row) cache ? Which is the best for you and WHY ?

Answer 1

FWIW I've had great success (reliability-wise and performance-wise) using XCache. I also use it in conjunction with memcache to speed up session operations and cut down on hits to MySQL.

Answer 2

I'd choose APC, but only because it's being adopted as part of PHP 6.

There are also some good opinions offered on this question.

Answer 3

I use XCache because it was written by the same person who wrote lighttpd, which was written for SPEED. Works on apache, also.
