[ciapug] Accelerating your PHP

[Tony Bibbs]

I'll echo that for APC. Zend Optimizer is just as stable. APC, however, 
has some quirks.  It doesn't like the include/require _once and if you 
do just straight include/require it wants an absolute path to the files, 
not relative.  That means for our apps we have a getWD() function and do 
stuff like:

require getWD('path_pear') . 'HTML/Template/Flexy.php';

Which works but feels a bit icky.
