Hi Steffen, thanks for your quick reply!

PHP is running as mod_php5 in Apache2 on our production server. However, 
as a sidenote: at home I run PHP as fast-cgi in Lighttpd, still yielding 
performance increase from eaccelerator, so it should be possible. But 
that's not really relevant anyway when the problem is with mod_php5 :)
