This one is for the linux and LAMP geeks out there: I've replaced memcached with xcache. memcached is better at distributing a cache over many servers, xcache is both op-code cache and variable cache. Whilst memcached is better at distributing cache over many servers, we only have the one server, so by moving from memcached to xcache exclusively, we take advantage of the speed gain of not having to support a distributed cache. Result? More pages are being served per second as the response is faster, as reading from xcache is a quicker operation than reading from memcached. And I can also now uninstall memcached which frees up a little server resource.
