First, I want to apologize as I forgot to disable the htaccess protection on previous tests. I was wondering why I was getting such high number of transactions.
But regardless of that, I was simply trying to highlight that "APC (alone) shows far better caching performance" statement is false. The bursts I ran are extreme and they emulate intense activity. In other words, all of 500 users visit 50 url's at random intervals less than 1 second.
Of course, everyone can choose to setup their server as they are pleased. I've been doing performance setups on site clusters with over 20 servers built from scratch, so I know how important are these numbers. Even the slightest improvement is crucial.
