Did some major site upgrades yesterday and today. First, the Gentoo team finally marked lighttpd-1.4.11 stable, so I upgraded to that, as well as the latest version of PHP5. Unfortunately this broke eAccelerator. I have always had problems with eAccelerator, so I ditched it completely and switched over to PEAR:Cache-Lite for content acceleration and PECL-APC for PHP bytecode acceleration.

I haven't done any formal benchmarks, but the site seems zippier to me so far.
