Hi guys im a bit confuse with Apc and template caching.
By i mean template caching is something like smarty caching functionality.
Basically what is the difference between both of them
APC cache is to compile php script into executable binary op-code and used it later.
In short, compile once, stored into memory, and reusable until time-to-live ended, or until file get updated.
Despite this major usage, APC also can used to store run-time variables into memory (you can treat this as global session for everyone accessing the same page)
While smarty caching technically is not a binary op-code cache, PHP binary still need to convert it to binary op-code every time it get executed.
What benefits of smarty caching as is it will stored the rendered HTML/output into disk (or you can save the output into APC, the second usage)
Which mean, it save the execution cycle instead of compilation cycle
