I'd like to get some input on configuring the caching-strategy for my Mediawiki
installation.
As I understand it, APC caches the PHP byte-code to improve on webserver performance, but
can also store sessions and objects. Memcached is mainly used to save rendered pages, can
be used to store other things such as sessions and objects, but can be *distributed.* Is
there a downside to having these two caching mechanisms installed on one machine? I am not
interested in sharing caches between machines, I'm only working with a single system.
Is there an advantage to using one strategy over the other for this case?
MediaWiki 1.18.2
PHP 5.3.3 (apache2handler)
MySQL 5.0.77-log
Linux 2.6.18-274.17.1.el5
