I imagine it would help quite substantially in the case of includes. From my understanding of opcode caching, it would cache a file including multiple files as a single file with the includes, after all the goal of opcode caching is to cache on the compiler level. We’ll be implementing opcode caching in a project I’m working on at a later date, I’ll see what benchmarks I can run and report those results.

I’d be interested to see if the opcode speeds up the includes or not on the following runs. I’ve never really had a change to test opcode caches in depth to see which parts of PHP they really help out.

An opcode cache was not used for these tests.

For this test were you using an opcode cache?
