EAccelerator

"eAccelerator is a free open-source PHP accelerator, optimizer, and dynamic content cache. It increases the performance of PHP scripts by caching them in their compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. It also optimizes scripts to speed up their execution. eAccelerator typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times."

In Debian stable unfortunately you wont find it apt-get'able but you can use the debianize script from dotdeb to create a .deb file for you from the source code.
