APCu is userland caching: APC stripped of opcode caching in preparation for
|
|
the deployment of Zend Optimizer+ as the primary solution to opcode caching
|
|
in future versions of PHP.
|
|
|
|
APCu has a revised and simplified codebase, by the time the PECL release is
|
|
available, every part of APCu being used will have received review and where
|
|
necessary or appropriate, changes.
|
|
|
|
Simplifying and documenting the API of APCu completely removes the barrier to
|
|
maintenance and development of APCu in the future, and additionally allows us
|
|
to make optimizations not possible previously because of APC's inherent
|
|
complexity.
|
|
|
|
APCu only supports userland caching (and dumping) of variables, providing an
|
|
upgrade path for the future. When O+ takes over, many will be tempted to use
|
|
3rd party solutions to userland caching, possibly even distributed solutions;
|
|
this would be a grave error. The tried and tested APC codebase provides far
|
|
superior support for local storage of PHP variables.
