Reponse times for a Drupal Commons site with some extra modules using different APC settings.

Scenarios tested:

  1. apc.shm_size = 128M (fits the whole site)
  2. apc.shm_size = 48M (does not fit the whole site)
  3. apc.shm_size = 48M and apc.ttl = 0 (different behavior when cache is full)
  4. apc.enabled = Off
