I'm not saying to not use an opcode cache. I'm saying that if only 1 out 
of 6 of his WP sites are slow then there must be something different 
about that site that is causing it to be slow. I don't think this is an 
optimization problem as much as it is to figure out why that one site is 
slower than the others. Then once you know why it is slower you can use 
the proper technique to make if faster.

As for a PHP opcode cache I'd go with APC. I believe PHP6 will ship with 
APC by default.
