The actual file loading can be improved by using a bytecode cache. Even more expensive is the class name to file path mapping though, especially the regular expressions. The idea is to store this map directly, i.e. without using Horde_Cache for obvious reasons, in a cache. Since users interested in speeding up the file loading are using APC or similar anyway, the autoloader should use such a bytecode cache for caching the map too, if the extension supports arbitrary caching.

What about providing a *very* basic temp file fallback if none of these caching backends are available? (e.g. using sys_get_temp_dir(), file_get_contents(), and file_put_contents()).

Admins would have to explicitly install this package to enable autoloader caching, thus we won't need any configuration to disable it, and we can make it the admin's job to take care of cache cleaning if necessary. A small script could help with that. In Horde, we would check if this package's class file exist, and load that, otherwise fall back to the default autoloader. Does anybody see any issues with this approach?
