Caching PHP code?

PHP uses the same technique that perl uses -- PHP compiles code into memory, then runs that compiled version. I know that the mod_perl Apache module, which runs perl as an Apache plugin, caches code in memory to speed execution.
Unfortunately, I don't know whether the compiled caching is true for PHP, too, or not. I am fairly sure not, but I have no definite data on this.
There are a number of PHP caching products out there.[ul][li]For-pay software:[/li][ul][li]Zend (the publisher of PHP) publishes Zend Accelerator[/li][/ul][li]Free software[/li][ul][li]Turck MMCache[/li][li]Afterburner Cache[/li][li]PHP Accelerator[/li][/ul][/ul]
I've never used any of these products, but I have heard good comments about Zend Accelerator, Turck MMCache and PHP Accelerator.
