[HacktionLab] HHVM vs PHP-FPM (was Re: Server efficiency slides)

[Mike Harris]

Hi All,

Yes, APC did it on Network23.org, although HHVM is also running there.

Recently applied APC on a couple of XtreamLab web sites and also a
couple from my day job (all WP installs) and the improvement was
significant, like twice as fast.

Those I know Marcus already knows this, so perhaps HHVM is better Marcus?

I know that WP Super Cache was something we had to drop on n23 as it
just didn't play well with the network install and we switched to W3
Total Cache, which seems to work very well.

Mike.
