[TYPO3] 'Symlinking' on Windows to reduce eAccelerator mem load?

[Joerg Wagner]

Thanks, Dmitry.

Yes, I have Typo3 running on several Windows 2003 production servers and it 
performs very well.
Unfortunatelly it is a sad truth that the Linux vs. Windows debate very 
often exhibits fundamentalistic characteristics that are not so far away 
from religious wars. It seems to be very hard for humans to act on thinking 
and observation and not on heavily repeated believes.

The symlink / junction / eAccelerator problem is not a Typo3 problem - 
allthough some kind of  PHP accelerator for Typo3 is strongly recommended 
for more complex Typo-Sites and thus will always pose the mentioned problem 
on Win systems. So I would still be happy for any idea how this could be 
solved.

Thanks again.
