description:
APC was conceived of to provide a way of boosting the performance of
PHP on heavily loaded sites by providing a way for scripts to be cached
in a compiled state, so that the overhead of parsing and compiling can
be almost completely eliminated. There are commercial products which
provide this functionality, but they are neither open-source nor free.
Our goal was to level the playing field by providing an implementation
that allows greater flexibility and is universally accessible.
changes:
Full support for class inheritance (beta), a fix for a bug in
apc_dump_cache_object(), a new option to clear cache entry if base file
changes, and a fix for a problem with setting default values for class
member data.
