With eAccelerator, it's not compiled every request anymore. It's unlikely that the PHP compile phase is a significant bottleneck on 99% of web applications' performance. The BIG win is not the compiling savings, but the hard drive not getting hit, since the code is stored in RAM after the first page load. So he's taken the PHP code and got it in RAM, and now it runs faster, because the disk isn't getting hit every page. Oh, and it's just as easy to store the compiled version as the source, so do that, and save an extra 2% -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
