objective tech eval of eA vs xcache?
|

| hi,
i've been using eA for quite a while on Apache2x-dev + php52x-dev. works great.
i've recently gotten a query from a client with a bee in their bonnet
about using XCache (http://xcache.lighttpd.net) instead.
No details. No rationale. Simply a reference to,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP_accelerator
"XCache ... Developed to overcome some of the limitations of the
existing solutions at that time."
Lovely. How I love useless fire-drills.
Before I waste an inordinate amount of time exploring XCache, can
someone here provide a relatively objective comparison -- frankly, I'm
looking for argument -- beyond the apprently insufficient "what we are
using, eA, already works" -- that'll keep me from changing from eA.
I'm not trolling -- just looking for some technical insight.
Thanks!

It only lists the "can be used with newer PHP versions" as a limitation:

thanks -- aware of that.
none of my clients/installs have been on php4 for ages -- admittedly,
not a part of any comparison for us.

that's a legit/important point. gr8. thanks.

understood. the progress has been clear with eA -- especially with the
95x+ evolution.
realizing that everyone's busy-as-usual, any eA "roadmap" that'll
address the clean-code/maintenance issue to a comparable level?
personally, i don't think it's a deal-breaker, but useful to
undersstand ...

that's worth looking into further, i think ...

it does. thanks!
