What it does:

1. hook "cache_templates",get $globaltemplates from cache,if not(Exclude Templates),get template from cache_templates();the cache use one of APC,eAccelerator,Turck MMCache,Xcache.Reduce MYSQL query and DISK IO.

2. There is an option to have certain templates saved seperatly to memory.

3. Automatically clears the cache when modifying or inserting templates, done using the hook admin_global and a check of $_GET, and also clearing when modifying the options.


The cache memory only get created when they are needed the first time. The memory can get one megabytes in size, mine is 0.5mb (default installation, no plugins/hacks). If you have new templates/styles and several plugins it can get 1-2mb no problem.if you use compress template,it will smaller.

(Orban using Xcache) .
i said 2-in-1 means cache + compress.Previous Hellcat & Trigunflame relased 2 compressor .Thats why i said 2 hacks in 1.


Orbans one : save 1 query in every page .If "cache template separately" enabled n it demand any opcode cacher.

what about its query saving status?

in fact last few weeks im just passing my time with this shit cache & data store cache.
(lot to be learn).Lots of option.lots of opinion.

So im just trying to figure which one i will use with XCache (will move to Xcache.)


Built in option ? or custom?
Thanx in Advance.

this one : save 1 query in every page yet.

i use APC
stats:
2007-2-12 13:16:21 -- 2007-2-13 9:48:25
total cache template:196
total use memory:444760
total hits:1293294
particular see attach file.


about apc ea xcache
apc:stably, PECL,will build in php6
ea:not stably,but capability.
xcache:neonatal,future,lighttpd project
i just ea move to apc,but use both two now.

Hi lendy
Thnx.

Atm we r on eAcc

with out any other hack..its working fine...
atm cached 151 scripts... (in vbPlaza enabled it cache upto 260+ scripts)
using this it will cache more cacheable script ? right ?
ummm regarding ur opinion about APC/eAcc/XCache..
thread by jason|xoxide at vbulletin.com . there found few review.
Xcache > Apc >eAcc.

i think it depends on person 2 person.



by enabling the compressor..it will stripe white spaces ?
previously faced problem using the another compressor...


------------
Any one have any practical review on it?

I just upgraded to latest release of eaccelerator 0.9.5. Restarted mysql and apache.

When I activate the plug in from the Admin CP I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: eaccelerator_rm() in /home/forum/public_html/includes/template_cache.php on line 75

Although the forums work, I do get that error in the Admin CP. So I am assuming that the plug in isn't working for me, so I have uninstalled.
