vBulletin support the following methods for caching datastore items:

Filecache
APC
XCache
Memcached

Additionally, APC and XCache are PHP accelerators. These are recommended. XCache has been shown to be ever so slightly faster than APC.

I think he means that xcache is slightly faster than APC. I prefer APC because the php group is more or less supports it.

I currently use Xcache, and have had no issues with it.

Not only that, but there are rumors ir will be included as default with PHP in a future release.

PS More info on accelerators can be found in the vB.com Server config forum.

Again, both XCache and APC are good choices. However, there are compatibility problems when using these with Zend Optimizer installed. It must be uninstalled if you want to use them.

eAccelerator was removed from the "available options" comment in config.php, due to a design issue of eAccelerator. However, the module remained inside class_datastore.php. I do not know if: a) the design flaw is fixed, or b) support has been "resumed".

That "design issue" comment in class_datastore.php was removed in vB 3.7. And we've been using eAccelerator as a datastore cache among other things such as a template and style cache (via hacks) on several forums without any problems.

This is not true, Zend and Xcache work great together... you just have to have it configured correctly.... in the config file load xcache before zend.
