I am interested in what your experiences with the various pre-compilers for PHP are: turck MMCache, ZendOptimizer, AGP. The general purpose is to make ezPublish faster. I love its powerful versatility, but it's running too slow. Way too slow and with 3.5 the bottleneck is not the database apparently.

Turck - the project is not being developed anymore (the programmer took up employment with Zend) and I've done some tests with a friend, under "load" (i.e. 2-3 requests per second which is not that much) there were up to 50% segfaults on requests.

Zend - just installed it on our development server, subjectively things are faster, but I haven't done any benchmarking so far.

AGP - no experiences - would be great if you could add yours.

Might try eAccelerator. The CVS, I read was working with PHP5 ... somewhat ... it's still a work in progress.
eAccelerator is a further development from mmcache PHP Accelerator & Encoder. It increases performance of PHP scripts by caching them in compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated.
