Install eaccelerator with PHP suEXEC, set disk cache storage to /dev/shm/eaccelerator/ instead of /tmp/eaccelerator/, then add a cron job to clean the cache directory every 5-10 minutes, so cache files not being used frequently will not fill up the precious shared memory storage.

Noticed that the server load going down from 4.x to 1.x on one client's server.

How can do it?
