Turck MMCache for PHP
Turck MMCache is a free PHP accelerator, optimizer, encoder, and dynamic content cache. It increases performance of PHP scripts by caching them in a compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. It also uses some optimizations for speeding up PHP scripts' execution. It typically reduces server load and increases the speed of PHP code by 1-10 times. It is tested with PHP 4.1.0-4.3.3, and Apache 1.3 and 2.0 under Linux and Windows.

Works as advertised. No major problems compiling and configuring it for use with Mac OS X.
And updates to the software appear to be fairly regular.
Nice benchmark results
I got speed up on php scripts by 2-3 times with Turck MMcache. If you want better results - try to disable optimizing.
Works nicely
I just tried this out on Windows and it works really nice. Easy installation, ms visual c++ project files included, precompiled windows binaries available(!) - and even on a non-production machine when testing with only one client I noticed a speed increase.
Though I couldn't test it in a production environment - highly recommended, even if just for fun ;-)
Cheers!
Highly recommended on *nix and windows
I use php mostly on linux and windows, and this is the only accelerator that works well on both platforms. A fantastic piece of work.

This, along with mod_gzip, will make your webserver fly.
