I am trying to improve my server performances
I successfully (at leat I guess) XCache and APC
Looking at their dashboards, I don't see any change while navigating on my sites on the server.
The catched files they mentionned are the only files of the dashboards themselves.

Does it needs to do something more than installing these software on the server?
Anything more to do on the Drupal side to get it taking benefit of these technologies?

For example, is Cache Router mandatory for this purpose?

Thanks for help and advices

I use APC.

To use Drupal + APC for opcode caching all you need to do is install APC and edit php.ini appropriately (see this article for some tips http://2bits.com/articles/importance-tuning-apc-sites-high-number-drupal...)

If you want to do application object caching with APC then you need to use the cacherouter module. Eedit settings.php to specify the engine as per the cacherouter project page instructions.

Very interesting. Could you elaborate the difference between opcode caching and application object caching? Also, can memcache be combined with APC, or is it not worth it?
