As other people mention here PHP Zend Optimizer is usually NOT installed on any systems unless they have encountered a customer which needed it.
Were selling a shoppingcart system and *every* host were encountered did not have it installed. Another sollution comes up, since a lot of the hosting companies for some reason dont want to install this, IonCube. Purchasing this is much more affordable prize aswell. The IonCube loader however can be included and loaded at runtime, meaning you dont have to install anything on the server, :) I have yet to meet a server that doesnt support the runtime loader by default.
