We believe the owners of Opcache will provide the highest level of opcode caching performance, due to their proximity to the Zend core developers (<grin>). Further, we're trusting them to provide a highly performant opcode cache on Windows (using cross-processes shared memory, appropriate Win32 APIs, etc.). > In the long run yes, or maybe. Right now the last release is totally unusable. For various reasons, some fixable and other will be hardly fixable without changes in the engine It would be nice if it is possible to have an alternative at least for a year or two. Also windows as a whole is not a priority for Zend, for quite some time. So ideally we should take care of this to ensure outstanding or at least sync performance and stability. Cheers,
