Hopefully :-)

There may be a possibility, however, that bugs in PHP could cause 
corruption of the shared memory cache that would ultimately lead to 
failure. This might not be a problem that would show up otherwise because 
PHP frees its memory and recreates compiled code each time. This is 
precisely what phpa doesn't do, hence the acceleration. So if memory was 
being corrupted because of a php bug, the mangled memory would be there to 
be used in subsequent requests, and might cause them to fail, whereas for 
php without phpa, the memory might be corrupted but not matter because the 
memory is going to be freed anyway.

The bottom line is that you should try php/phpa and see what happens. If 
there are problems then they'd probably make themselves evident within a 
day or so. If, as is generally the case, there are no problems, then great.
If there are issues then just let me know.
