eAccelerator

eAccelerator : A free, open source PHP Accelerator for Windows and Linux (started as a Turck MMcache fork in 2005).

If you are looking for a PHP accelerator, especially one that also works on Windows, check out eAccelerator: “eAccelerator is a further development from mmcache PHP Accelerator & Encoder.
