 * The `object-cache.php` installation is designed to be compatible with any existing
   caching layer. In particular, if you have an existing `object-cache.php` it will
   copy that one and then continue to load it after the Performance Lab’s version
   is installed: [https://github.com/WordPress/performance/blob/01504c5493ef71e355ac6e9f5165e938729c46cc/plugins/performance-lab/includes/server-timing/object-cache.copy.php#L76-L86](https://github.com/WordPress/performance/blob/01504c5493ef71e355ac6e9f5165e938729c46cc/plugins/performance-lab/includes/server-timing/object-cache.copy.php#L76-L86)
 * Is this not working for you?
 * That said, you can disable it from being installed by adding `define( 'PERFLAB_DISABLE_OBJECT_CACHE_DROPIN',
   true)` to your `wp-config.php`.
 * In any case, the use of `object-cache.php` as a means to start early timing is
   a hack. It would be great if we could use a different mechanism to start timing
   early, like installing an `mu-plugin`.
