-Like everything else written in PHP, Phabricator will run much faster with APC
-installed. You likely need to install "pcre-devel" first:
-
-  sudo yum install pcre-devel
-
-Then you have two options. Either install via PECL (try this first):
-
-  sudo yum install php-pear
-  sudo pecl install apc
-
-**If that doesn't work**, grab the package from PECL directly and follow the
-build instructions there:

-http://pecl.php.net/package/APC

-Installing APC is optional but **strongly recommended**, especially on
-production hosts.
-
-Once APC is installed, test that it is available by running:
-
-  php -i | grep apc
-
-If it doesn't show up, add:
-
-  extension=apc.so
-
-..to "/etc/php.d/apc.ini" or the "php.ini" file indicated by "php -i".
