I use XCache now, but would APC be any better performance-wise?
Both are almost the same level of strong performance

In the second run though both xcache and apc have the same transaction rate of 1.53 which is 23% higher than that of no cache 1.24, but the longest transaction and shortest transaction of xcache was better than that of apc. It shows that xcache handles caching better than apc.Eventually, there were some bugs in apc caused crashes when i tried to implement it. And xcache ran fine without any issues. This scenario shows that xcache is better.
Previous eAccelerator versions also provided functions for use in PHP scripts that allow access to shared memory, automatic web (content) caching, and other related tasks. These were removed as of version 0.9.6rc1.
It is??? I knew they were planning it for 6.0 at least as an optional compile option, but didn't know it made it into 5.4.In practice, you won't see a difference. However, since APC is now bundled with PHP 5.4, if/when you upgrade to that, you won't need to worry about ever again installing a separate opcode cacher.
APC is not going to be in 5.4. Not sure where you got that from.
Alternative PHP Cache is a free, open source (PHP license) framework that optimizes PHP intermediate code and caches data and compiled code from the PHP bytecode compiler in shared memory. APC is quickly becoming the de-facto standard PHP caching mechanism as it will be included built-in to the core of PHP starting with PHP 5.4. [1]
