php accelerator for ppc?

[bronto]

I looked at jpcache, but it looks like an output cache instead of a 
script cache.  For some reason, output cache's don't get me excited. 
I guess since my pages are pretty dynamic I'm thinking that the cache 
won't be of much use.  On the other hand, since I'm trying to build a 
customer base of users who are all running the same scripts against 
their own data, caching the scripts seems to make a lot more sense. 
But I'm still kind of new at this, and haven't tried any server 
caching at all.  Am I wrong?
