C560 optimization and caching

Permalink
Dear C5-programmers,

I'm currently running a C5 installation on a VPS with a CPU load of ~0.7. A page load of index.php (so only the PHP) could takes between 2 till 6 seconds, with C5 caching enabled.

At the moment I try to find out what the best thing would be to do. There are many caching solutions, but which one suits best, and which one is compatible with C5?

I saw on the forums that many people use APC or Zend Optimizer. Some other people advise Nginx or XCache.

Thing is, I don't know much about this and would love to speed things up. What would be the best quick win, you think?

I don't think C5 is compatable with Nginx because of .htaccess requirement is it?

I'd be interested to hear more on this front - I've been having 5.6.0 speed issues.

APC works well and makes a big difference in speed
