 * What is APC and how do I turn it on? Or memcache? how do I turn it on and determine
   what will be cached?
 * wp-widget-cache is useful once one uses supercache? My impression is that super
   cache caches the entire page, widgets and all. I have lots of widgets with lots
   of database queries, but they would rarely change (last 20 posts, last comments,
   etc)

 * would not the operating system be intelligent enough to cache frequently used
   small files? Do you need to do this explicitly?

 * .I have the same problem.
 * My additional problem are permissions. The files are owned by nobody, and neither
   my ftp nor my telnet can change these files (any advice for that situation?)
 * I really need to run the upgrade via the normal upgrade via wordpress.
 * 2 additional questions on that
    1) I want to use Secure FTP but it does not work(
   filezilla works all right with secure ftp)
 * 2) I want to understand how these upgrades via wordpress work. They actually 
   download onto my home computer and then transfer onto my server? It would be 
   MUCH faster and MUCH more efficient if everything got downloaded directly onto
   the server
 * 3) who owns the files upgraded by wordpress? the web server? or the ftp login(
   if that owns it, that would explain why nothing can be deleted as in my case 
   the files are owned by nobody, the apache webserver)
 * Downloading update from [http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/simple-tags.1.7.4.4.zip](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/simple-tags.1.7.4.4.zip).
 * Unpacking the update.
 * Installing the latest version.
 * Removing the old version of the plugin.
 * Could not remove the old plugin.
 * Plugin upgrade Failed.
