Thank you all. I finally switch to PHP 5.5 + memcache and everything seems to be going quite well.

By the way, regarding Pablo of vDevices reply, I am not using WordPress, I am using my own in-house PHP scripts set up from scratch and continually improving to be maybe share one day…

@Jacques : You should always use the latest stable versions of every software you use (because of bugfixes and security updates). Zend OPCache is integrated into php 5.5 if I recall correctly and it’s a better APC alternative.

Thanks Kamal Nasser, I’ll try this option but is there any particular reason for that?

I recommend upgrading to PHP 5.5 and using memcached for caching user data and Zend’s OPCache of opcode caching.

Thanks Nemanja Andrejevic for your answer.

So this says, If I want to upgrade to PHP Version 5.5.3-1 I should forget about APC?

And do you know if LAMP with PHP Version 5.5.3-1 + Memcache will be more quicker (better performance) that LAMP with PHP 5.3 + APC + Memcache?
