Due to MediaWiki's large codebase, it is highly recommended that a system be used to cache the compiled scripts; there are a number of such plugins for PHP, some free, some proprietary. There is a list of some caches:
 * [$apc Alternative PHP Cache] -- used at Wikimedia
 * [$wincache Windows Cache Extension for PHP] -- recommended for IIS users
