I am not able to change API to use arrays instead of objects, because it will break all existent applications. Support for both will increase complexity and decries performance. > > I don't understand how ext/soap related to APC. > > Well the problem is that I am trying to cache soap replies in > APC.

In case of specific requests you can split soap reply into simple elements and cache them. For general solution you have to use serialize(). In any case unserialize() is much faster then real soap request. And saving 405% instead of 400% is not so important. Thanks.
