2.5 times more power!
Today I did test three different php script caches. Eaccelerator, XCache and APC. After some time I looked up if there where some modules around this and I found cache router. I stuck with APC and activated it with this module. First I got some stupid errors, there is nearly no documetation and I was about to stop to test it. But I did one bench mark. ab with 1000 hits and 20 threads suddendly was 2.5 more powerful. From 180 pages a second to 500 just by using APC in Drupal through this module! I really think this should go to core but needs some more enhancement. If you use anykind of cache extension on your server you just have to try this module!
There are some minor bugs at module activation. And make sure you put the PHP in your settings.php. Still its easy to use.
And the nice statistics image they show on the project is for D7. D6 doesn't use hook_menu as far as I have seen. Nice OOP Programming by the way :)
