The good thing is that since the server is written with Ruby it's possible to specify exactly which files should be preloaded. That's why i think they don't need any sort of opcode cache... I think PHP applications could benefit of this approach as well and the question remains - is it possible? Zend_Http_Server will (partly) allow you to do this.  Classes loaded before the server starts listening will be available to all child processes without further loading/parsing.  Classes loaded by the child processes themselves will be freed/loaded each time. -- Mat Scales Developer, Magic Number Media Ltd e: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   |    t: 0114 201 5708   |    f: 0114 221 1834   |    w: http://www.magicnumber.co.uk © Magic Number Media Ltd 2004, reproduction prohibited without express permission.
