I don't see a way to create a user on the Wiki so I'm posting it here, hope people with wiki access can add it:

## # Performance Tunning ##
# Install XCache, build package from src.rpm (install required dependencies for compilation if needed)
mkdir ~/tmp cd ~/tmp wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php:/extensions/SLE_11/src... rpmbuild --rebuild php5-xcache-1.3.2-2.1.src.rpm
# Install result from above command
# Restart apache rcapache2 restart
That's all, this should work on openSUSE also, just make sure to use repositories for the correct version of distribution.
