Caching with eAccelerator

A host uses eAccelerator 0.9.6.1 which is enabled:

eAccelerator support	enabled
Version 	0.9.6.1
Caching Enabled 	true
Optimizer Enabled 	true
Check mtime Enabled 	true
Memory Size 	16,777,176 Bytes
Memory Available 	2,800 Bytes
Memory Allocated 	16,774,376 Bytes
Cached Scripts 	256
Removed Scripts 	0

but when I use $wgMainCacheType = CACHE_ACCEL; I get

CACHE_ACCEL requested but no suitable object cache is present.

On Manual:Cache#PHP_caching I read Note: Any version of eAccelerator will work for PHP caching but if you also want to use it for Object caching as well, you need version 0.9.5 (later versions are not compatible).

Will pages load faster nontheless with $wgMainCacheType = CACHE_NONE; ?

Shouldn't MW support all newer versions? Forcing old versions is not very userfriendly or secure.

The shared memory (that is, the object caching) parts of eAccelerator were removed in 0.9.6. You can't support what ain't there.

;) using an optcode cache that is no longer maintained isn't very secure or user friendly either. Time to install APC or X-Cache.
