Experience with Zend Cache for PHP?
Most of the time the load is fine (<0.5) but at times the server gets abnormous peaks of 100-200 hits per second for just a few seconds. I believe this is because the IDE-harddisk can't handle the load at times which is why database requests are piling up.
I am considering buying the Zend Cache. This software caches php-scripts and include-files into memory where the standard (free) edition of PHP retrieves the scripts from disk for each request. This Cache should speed processing with about 300 percent.
As anybody got experience with the Zend Cache?
