Optimizing APC Caching

[m1mi.dan0s]

Hi!

I have a question regarding APC Caching in combination with the W3TC plugin for Wordpress.

I've been playing around with the settings in php.ini to see if I can increase the hit/miss ratio. I barely have any fragmentation, and most of the available memory remains free. Still, the hit miss ratio is always around 60% miss over 40% hit.

Little info about my site: it's a downloads site with a LOT of posts (closing in on 10.000), images are stored on external image hosts and I'm running it from a VPS with 1024MB ram (2048 Burst) with 2 dedicated CPU-cores.

I've added screenshots in which you can see my stats and my php.ini-settings.

Hope you guys can help me out! Thanks in advance!

Oh, I just noticed that APC doesn't cache any files.

Any ideas how to get this to be done?

Increase cache size to 128MB. That should solve the defragmentation issue. Worked for me. And make sure you use the latest version of PHP and APC.

I use the packages from dotdeb. Works like a charm. No defragmentation. Great performance.

I don't have any defragmentation issues, since there are no files being cached. I tried setting the cache size to 128m, didn't make a difference.

You shouldn't be worrying about the hits/misses. The hits are the cached ones and the misses aren't cached YET, in time your misses will become 0.
