 * Hi
 * I pulled the trigger and bought ZenCache and have been playing with speed tests.
   Having tested the others and having found that, with my server, WP-FFPC was the
   fastest, I was pleased to see ZenCache bettering that by another 10%. What else
   can any of us do? My server is fast, not shared, and WordPress adds 2.5 to 3 
   seconds to the first page load in TTFB (with the page then bursting really fast
   int sight). I will admit my site is a bit plugin heavy, but that is life today.
   What more can I do?
 * I have Apache 2.4.12/PHP 5.5.22/MariaDB 10.0.17. I figured out how to enable 
   Zend Opcache with APCu, and Memcache/Memcached. I installed the APCu Object Cache
   for WordPress. This is as far as I can go given that it is a SolusVM cloud VPS(
   OpenVZ) with Centos 6.6 running cPanel 11.48 and Easyapache 3.28.4. It is not
   shared.
 * Is that all I can do? I did try nginx as a reverse proxy, but that was far from
   stable, so I re-built the server and started again.
 * I know that cPanel 11.50 will bring EasyApache 4 (beta) which will allow PHP 
   5.6, and PHP-FPM. And it seems (?) close as I can see a 11.50 change log page
   on the cpanel site nominally for 11.50 (dated March 4 2015), but is headed 11.49.9999.51(
   how much closer can the numbering get, I wonder?).
 * Is there any more I can do?

 * I just had an unofficial reply to say that cPanel 11.50 and EasyApache 4 will
   release on Tuesday 10 March 2015, 3 days away.

 * TTFB is an issue and to be honest, I don’t know what is causing that. If you 
   Google WordPress TFFB, you’ll see tonnes if tickets & questions related to this
   and no matter what I try, I cannot get pass it.

 * Agreed, TTFB is an issue that the WP core team seem unable or unwilling to resolve.
 * I have tried everything I can think of, and that is all I can do.
