I'd much rather see this with APC benchmarks. I mean, that's supposed to be the native Opcode Cache with PHP! My WAMP distro (http://www.devside.net/server/webdeveloper http://www.devside.net/server/webdeveloper) is switching to it, as it's finally stable enough to use in production (eAccelerator had it beat for some time). Also, Zend Optimizer only works with PHP as a non-thread-safe / FCGI process in PHP 5.3, so there goes it's use under the prefered Windows mod_php setup (Windows handles threads really well). The only time you want to use FCGI on Windows is if there are serious memory leaks. It's hard to ignore Windows as a PHP paltform considering it's the majority of the webdev segment for PHP and about 1/3 of production for PHP.

.. It's hard to ignore Windows as a PHP paltform Wait - What? I use both Windows and Nix, and have always moved to Nix for better speed and security. Do you have links to this statistic? I would prefer to use 64Bit, but there is no current support for it in PHP.

  People from Apache, PHP and MySQL have published stats (in conferences and points) that show the Windows and Linux deployment figures for downloads, development work, and production deployments, over the years. The majority of dev work (like local website development and testing) with Apache, PHP, and MYSQL was under Windows. 1/3 of production work was also Windows. This was several years ago and I have seen these numbers increasing in Windows favor.

    Where do they get those stats from? Most people deploying or developing on linux will get the packages for all of those things from their distro.

      Even as early as 2003: <b>Although PHP is universally thought of as implying Linux, Apache and MySQL, nearly 7% of PHP sites [when counting by ip address] run on Windows. This has doubled over the last year</b> (from Netcraft: http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2003/08/30/php_growing_surprisingly_strongly_on_windows.html http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2003/08/30/php_growing_sur... ). PHP on Windows grew much more later on, what with Microsoft even making several specific changes to IIS et all to accommodate it better.

Most opcode caches are within a couple percent in performance of each other, I wouldn't expect the commercial Zend product to be much better or worse than APC performance. Since Dmitry Stogov (the benchmark poster) invented Turck MMCache and was hired away by Zend, it makes sense he is benchmarking with zend ;-)
