Is there an option to use vB 4 + php7 with redis cache like vB4 with memcached? can vB team change vB4 to run with redis and PHP7?

I think it will be more faster.

Thanks

You didnt have to downgrade, you choose to, vBulletin does not need memcached to run.
As already pointed out previously, memcached is available for php7 should you want to use it.

No, we wont be adding support for Redis, if you dont want to install memcached, then use APCu, which is supported in vB 4.2.5.

Also, while using any of these for the datastore will possibly make the site a little faster, its not going to be by much - if your site is "really is slow when it could not use memcached" then you have bigger server issues that you need to sort out.
