After some struggle, the eAccellerator v. 1.0 dev for PHP 4.5.10 nts VS9 x64 yelded to be buid (works with this http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=23466). You can download this module here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xyyexl040xkem7k/eAccelerator.zip

I have not noticed any speed improvements yet, however. I am not aware about any means that could be used to obtain objective data about the speed.

I must have been blind... I have not noticed that the compiled PHP (see link above) apparently contains eAccelerator extension (under namephp_eAccelerator.dll). Interestingly, the extension compiled by me is much smaller (91 kb vs. 103 kb in the package). My question is, how could that happen if the source of the extension is the same?

Could be a lot of things. At compile-time it links php5(ts).lib and installed it uses php5.dll. Maybe my php5.* were different from yours. I always compile PHP in one run to be sure all extensions match the php core files.

Did you compile it with the *.vcproj (graphical interface) or from the command line? VC9 pro or VC9 express? Dat of your sources (Aug 16, 2012)?

Edit: hmm. I compiled it using the graphical interface with my php5.lib and also ended up with 91KB. There must be some difference between the vcproj and compiling from the command-line...

I am just at learner’s stage with compilation. I have used some weird technique in this process; combination of both – starting with command line and then switching to .vcproj (VC9 pro) with command line still open. This was the only way that I was able to get result. Also, I have used php5.lib taken from your PHP package.

In fact, it would really be great to learn about your environment and settings compiling the PHP. I have noticed that you were able to compile xCache and memcache also. I am always ending up with multiple warnings, missing files in the path (like zend_config.h), or linkage errors. Those were too tough nuts for me. I believe that my settings and links are totally off range. And looking to your compilation, it is difficult to believe that it is possible.
