to turn the rest of the
REQUEST_URI
into parameters passed into the index.php to control what is…

Do I pay a performance penalty as PHP recompiles my source code for every request?
I know PHP is mostly an interpreted language. Does the PHP interpreter (php.exe in Windows and php file in Linux) do interpretation every time my script executes or only when I change the source? To put it another way, does the PHP interpreter cache…

APC: opcode cache vs. user cache - set separate limits
I am trying to move from the typical combination of APC (for opcode) and Memcache (for my userdata) to a purely apc based cache. Given my usage structure it makes sense and performance is higher.
