-Caching the Autoloader with APC
--------------------------------
-
-Another solution is to cache the location of each class after it's located
-the first time. Symfony comes with a class - :class:`Symfony\\Component\\ClassLoader\\ApcClassLoader` -
-that does exactly this. To use it, just adapt your front controller file.
-If you're using the Standard Distribution, make the following changes::
-
-    // app.php
-    // ...
-
-    use Symfony\Component\ClassLoader\ApcClassLoader;
-
-    // do not use $loader as a variable name here as it would
-    // be overwritten when loading the bootstrap.php.cache file
-    $classLoader = require __DIR__.'/../app/autoload.php';
-    include_once __DIR__.'/../app/bootstrap.php.cache';
-
-    // Use APC for autoloading to improve performance
-    // Change 'sf2' by the prefix you want in order
-    // to prevent key conflict with another application
-    $loader = new ApcClassLoader('sf2', $classLoader);
-    $loader->register(true);

-.. note::
-
-    When using the APC autoloader, if you add new classes, they will be found
-    automatically and everything will work the same as before (i.e. no
-    reason to "clear" the cache). However, if you change the location of a
-    particular namespace or prefix, you'll need to flush your APC cache. Otherwise,
-    the autoloader will still be looking at the old location for all classes
-    inside that namespace.

-   single: Performance; Bootstrap files
-
-Use Bootstrap Files
--------------------
-
-To ensure optimal flexibility and code reuse, Symfony applications leverage
-a variety of classes and 3rd party components. But loading all of these classes
-from separate files on each request can result in some overhead. To reduce
-this overhead, the Symfony Standard Edition provides a script to generate
-a so-called `bootstrap file`_, consisting of multiple classes definitions
-in a single file. By including this file (which contains a copy of many of
-the core classes), Symfony no longer needs to include any of the source files
-containing those classes. This will reduce disc IO quite a bit.
-
-If you're using the Symfony Standard Edition, then you're probably already
-using the bootstrap file. To be sure, open your front controller (usually
-``app.php``) and check to make sure that the following line exists::
-
-    include_once __DIR__.'/../var/bootstrap.php.cache';
-
-Note that there are two disadvantages when using a bootstrap file:
-
-* the file needs to be regenerated whenever any of the original sources change
-  (i.e. when you update the Symfony source or vendor libraries);
-
-* when debugging, one will need to place break points inside the bootstrap file.
-
-If you're using the Symfony Standard Edition, the bootstrap file is automatically
-rebuilt after updating the vendor libraries via the ``composer install`` command.
-
-Bootstrap Files and Byte Code Caches
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Even when using a byte code cache, performance will improve when using a bootstrap
-file since there will be fewer files to monitor for changes. Of course, if this
-feature is disabled in the byte code cache (e.g. ``apc.stat=0`` in APC), there
-is no longer a reason to use a bootstrap file.
