If you have the RAM, install php_apc -- once the scripts are included once, the tokenized php will be cached in memory, can be a significant performance boost. We also use it for "global" variables that don't change across scripts, such as state and country names. Great tool, I wish it were built into PHP instead of a pecl module.
