I've been doing some looking around for something that would speed up PHP under IIS and came accross Turck MMCache for PHP on sourceforge. Has anybody used it before? Does anybody know of or tried anything else that is opensource?

A few weeks ago I was bench/performance testing a handful of PHP accelerators. Turk MMCache was not within that list but I did test eAccelerator which is (I believe still) currently heavily based on the Turk MMCache source.

There was very little difference among the accelerators I tested but at that time eAccelerator was consistently the top performer (only by a small margin). All my tests were on *nix systems though so don't know how much of that is directly transferable to Windows systems running IIS?

As with eAccelerator, APC is also opensource.
