Filecache OR Xcache

hii..

I had been using vB_Datastore_Filecache for caching datastore items.

On my request, my host has installed Xcache now.

1. So, is it good to switch my config settings to vB_Datastore_XCache? Should I do it?
2. How will it affect performance? I read somewhere, that using Xcache will reduce 1 query globally. Is it correct?

Thank you

anyone please ?

and is there a way to check whether xcache is working fine for us.

If you have 'vB_Datastore_XCache' defined in your config.php and your forum is still loading then its working.
You can also use xcache's web admin interface.

If you have 3.6 series you need patch your database class
datastore cache to XCache - boost your vBulletin - vBulletin.org Forum
If you have 3.7 series is already included.

Settings for xCache in php.ini

Code:

[xcache]
xcache.shm_scheme = "mmap"
xcache.size = 48M
xcache.count = 4
xcache.slots = 8K
xcache.ttl   = 7200
xcache.gc_interval = 3600
xcache.var_size  = 4M
xcache.var_count = 1
xcache.var_slots = 8K
xcache.var_ttl   = 0
xcache.var_maxttl   = 0
xcache.var_gc_interval = 300
xcache.test =                Off
xcache.readonly_protection = Off
xcache.mmap_path = "/tmp/xcache.xxx"
;xcache.coredump_directory =   ""
xcache.cacher = On
xcache.optimizer = On
xcache.stat   = On

Settings in config_vbseo.php

Code:

define('VBSEO_CACHE_TYPE',               3);

To review that vBSEO is caching the data, go to your xCache admin panel www.yoursite.com/xcache
Click in "List var Data" www.yoursite.com/xcache/?type=1 and click again in vbseo_com_storage in this way you can see that the vBSEO work
