I’ve been using XCache for a few weeks and have found it to be slightly faster than eAccelerator; therefore, I pieced together this walkthrough to help my fellow BlueHost users speed-up their PHP-laden websites. 
Once in a while, I’ll come across a program or utility which is simply remarkable. As far as web development on Mac OS X, I sought a program which would optimistically eliminate my simultaneous usage of the Terminal (for SSH), Dreamweaver (for… everything else), and Transmit (for FTP). Come to find out, Panic Inc. has an answer to my dilemma - they call it Coda… I call it a Mac webmaster’s dream.
Here’s a tutorial I’ve written to help the web-optimization junkies out there get eAccelerator, FastCGI, and zlib compression working on their BlueHost accounts.
For the Tiger/Leopard Mac users out there, you’re probably interested in something artistic by nature. Whether its editing photography, listening to music, or writing HTML/PHP code (my personal favorite), Mac OS X empowers the creative side in computing. Consequently, any time there’s an opportunity to “enhance” a mode of creativity, I jump at it, and I believe I’ve come across such a chance (in reality, I came across it three months ago but have only now decided to publicize it 
). SRS iWOW, an iTunes plugin, is one of the most extraordinary audio enhancement plugins I’ve come across on any of the operating systems I use.
Hands down, I believe that VMware Fusion 2 is the best option for those who are looking to run Mac OS X as their primary operating system but also have Windows and Linux as readily accessible environments.
