Besides opcode caching, APC provides shared key-value storage. I don't really see why they chose Zend over APC as a standard opcache. Also, they are incompatible and cannot run together.

The RFC for including ZO+ outlines some possible reasons: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/optimizerplus#advantages_of_optimizer_over_apc https://wiki.php.net/rfc/optimizerplus#advantages_of_optimiz...

That's why I asked, I really hope they ship APC within the core aswell if Zend Optimizer doesn't provide a data store. To be honest, I find the data store that APC provides way more important than opcode caching.

We will provide a separate extension (currently called "apcu") which contains only the user-cache part of APC. ZO+ and that extension together should behave the same way as APC currently does. This will actually work even better, because both components will be completely separate (the shared cache had fragmentation issues in APC.) ZO+ was chosen over APC because it is more stable. ZO+ is (more or less) PHP 5.5 compatible already, whereas APC still tries to cope with 5.4 compatibility.
