I won't enable apc and make it part of the default release. The main reason is that APC brings a performance win but in some edge cases you can get unexpected behavior as it tries to be too smart and breaks code using reflection or include/require[_once] in "the wrong way" and from time to time there are bugs in the shared memory management. All this stuff is hard for the user to find - especially if he isn't aware of the fact that apc runs at all. I'd say it's a good thing to offer it and make sure the users find a simple way to enable it but I won't enable it by default. johannes
