It works well and makes a big difference for me. Everything you need to know about installing can be found here http://www.eaccelerator.net/wiki/InstallFromSource

which is better as a zend extension or as a php extension to install?

thanks

I can't speak for everyone else, but as zend extension has worked well for me for a couple years.

which is the version I have to download 0.94 or 0.95 ?
And where cache files should be located?

Var partition is at 49% and tmp has 1000mb in size allocated.

Thanks

I use 9.5. My tmp was no where near that size and kept filling up. I just created a folder /eacache/ and use that. I've never had any trouble.
