What is "xcache"

XCache is a opcode open-source for php that works with caching, which means it speeds up the performance of php on servers. It optimizes performance by removing build time from scripts php by caching the compiled state of scripts php for the SHM (RAM) and uses the straight compiled version of RAM. This will increase the page generation time rate as it also optimizes many other aspects of scripts php and reduce server load.

The project is led by Moo, who is also a developer of Lighttpd.
