APC is a free, open, and robust framework for caching and optimizing PHP intermediate code.
大的网站都用它

 sudo apt-get install apache2-threaded-dev php5-dev php-pear make 
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/apxs2 /usr/bin/apxs
 sudo pecl install apc
回答：YES

 sudo vi /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini 
增加：extension=apc.so
sudo vi /usr/share/php/pearcmd.php
增加：@ini_set('memory_limit', '16M');

时间消耗几乎相差一倍。
注意，如果是用phpinfo()类的简单函数，测试效果将非常不明显。

使用系统默认的apc.php查看cache情况，可以把apc.php cp到你的web目录。我机器上该文件默认目录是：
/usr/share/php
