Hi,

to distribute my wikis to my the students, which are mainly using Windows, I decided to let the mediawiki run under Qemu which easily can be executed under Windows and Linux. On my PC (1,7 Ghz) the mediawiki itself was pretty slow, e.g. it took 25 seconds for the main page and 15 seconds for the Special pages to display. After installing eAccelerator these times dropped down to 1-2 seconds. As I understand eAccelerator it precompiles the PHP code, but I suspect that the accesses to the MySql database might also be slow. From the description of memcached I got the impression that DB accesses are cached by memcached, but not by eAccelarator. Would it make sense to install both eAccelerator and memcached or just the latter one ?

Thanks in advance
