homepage: http://freshmeat.net/projects/apc/homepage/
download: http://freshmeat.net/projects/apc/download/

description:
APC was conceived of to provide a way of boosting the performance of
PHP on heavily loaded sites by providing a way for scripts to be cached
in a compiled state, so that the overhead of parsing and compiling can
be almost completely eliminated. There are commercial products which
provide this functionality, but they are neither open-source nor free.
Our goal was to level the playing field by providing an implementation
that allows greater flexibility and is universally accessible.

changes:
Support for relative include paths and the include_path setting in
php.ini, a new PHP function apc_cache_index, and a fix for default
initialization of class member data (as arrays). Note: to enable
support for either relative paths or the include_path setting, you must
set apc.relative_includes to 1 in your php.ini file. Check the FAQ for
more details.

provide an extra layer of security against the easier ways to exploit
