Free to optimise software for mac

Zend Optimizer is a nice, freeware software that runs the files encoded by the Zend Encoder while enhancing the running speed of PHP applications.

For enterprise-class performance enhancement with speed-up factors approximately 10 times greater than that of the Zend Optimizer, try the Zend Accelerator, the industrys premiere PHP accelerator.

The Zend Accelerators performance enhancement technology was specifically created to help optimize the responsiveness and processing effeciency of robust, heavily trafficked PHP-based sites.

Google SparseHash 1.5.2 offers you a professional and extremely memory-efficient hash_map implementation, with only 2 bits/entry overhead, which is a free and open source template library. There are no binaries to install.

The Google SparseHash project contains several hash-map implementations in use at Google, with different performance characteristics, including an implementation that optimizes for space and one that optimizes for speed.

These hashtable implementations are similar in API to SGIs hash_map class and the tr1 unordered_map class, but with different performance characteristics. It's easy to replace hash_map or unordered_map by sparse_hash_map or dense_hash_map in C++ code.
