[OSM-dev] new mediawiki performance

[Brett Henderson]

I use eAccelerator, simply because it was the accelerator provided by 
Fedora.
http://eaccelerator.net/

It was as simple as installing the package (ie. no configuration 
required) and provided significant speedups running gallery2 on an old 
Pentium II at home.  I haven't checked to see how much RAM it uses but 
RAM usage is configurable.

Just another option ...
