Problem
You want to speed up your application using a cache.
Solution
Install XCache
Step 1 - Install XCache
$ sudo apt-get install php5-xcache
Step 2 - Edit xcache.ini
To use the variable cache you need to edit the xcache.var_size setting in the ini file. Usually, this file is located in /etc/php5/mods-available
# Find the line
xcache.var_size = 0M
# Change it to
xcache.var_size = 100M
Step 3 - Restart apache
$ sudo service apache2 restart
Discussion
XCache is a fast, stable PHP opcode cacher.
It also provides standard get/set/inc/dec cache operations which Laravel can use to drive its Cache component.
See Setting up the XCache Cache Driver for instructions.
