I'm using the apc for opcode caching. I use a lot of includes per
request, and I haven't seen it do anything gnarly. I haven't bothered
to use it for shared memory yet, but I'm sure that would speed things
up _a lot_.

How is http_load different from ab (the Apache benchmark tool)?

And what's the Callgrind business? I'd like to see a tutorial on that.
