ARCast.TV - Enabling Accelerators on Your Web Site

Accelerators are a new IE8 feature that enables users to find and access information without leaving the web page. In this screen cast, Zhiming Xue (Dr. “Z”), Microsoft Architect Evangelist, demonstrates how developers can make an accelerator available in web applications so that users can install and use it. For additional resources about web slices are available at IE8 Readiness Toolkit and OpenService Accelerators Developer Guide.

Nice video on Accelerators! See: http://bit.ly/vJKbW For readers who use Firefox and are new to IE8, I wanted your readers to be aware that Firefox has a version of Accelerators too, it is called “KALLOUT - Accelerators for Firefox” It’s available as a free add-on through Firefox. See: http://bit.ly/vJKbW The MS accelerators will actually work directly with KallOut-Accelerators for Firefox so users can stick with Firefox if they want and still get the benefits of the community-developed accelerator.

By default, the PHP engine re-compiles Drupal every time a visitor loads a web page for the site. Because the Drupal program changes rarely (only when you install a new version), re-compiling it over and over again is redundant. Instead, when a PHP accelerator script cache is installed, the PHP engine compiles Drupal just once and saves the results into the script cache. The next time the program is needed, the engine re-uses the compiled script in the cache. This saves time, speeding up the web site.
