Welcome to XCache

Description

XCache is a fast, stable  PHP opcode cacher that has been tested and is now running on production servers under high load. It is tested (on linux) and supported on all of the latest  PHP cvs branches such as PHP_4_3 PHP_4_4 PHP_5_0 PHP_5_1 PHP_5_2 HEAD(6.x). ThreadSafe/Windows is also supported. It overcomes a lot of problems that has been with other competing opcachers such as being able to be used with new  PHP versions.
