[Mediawiki-l] eAccelerator and/or memcached

[Sigbert Klinke]

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
