xcache or eaccelerator?

Hello, I have a server and I have several proxies on it together with some of my websites.
The thing is sometime it will overload.

I was thinking to install xcache or eaccelerator.

Can you suggest me which should I install? Which is better?

Need expert to help me on this.

Thanks.

I will strongly advise xcache

Any reason why?

Appreciate if you could be more details of pros and cons.

I use eaccelerator due to an incompatibility between xcache and my php version and it's worth doing but xcache is accepted as faster in general.

[nyunyu]

I google around and found out that xcache is somewhat faster and works great with ioncube and zend.

I'll try xcache to see how.

xcache, in my opinion, is the better of the two.

With vb 3.7 or a simple mod here from vb.org you can move vbulletins datastore into xcache. Right there it makes it superior.

eAccelerator is better as you can enable/disable it for directories (sites).

I would recommend xCache.

In my case I have a test forum, a blog and few others sites on the same server.
with APC & xCache those scripts ends up taking more memory than the main forums.
I guess the thread starter will have the same problem
