Improvement Idea: /var/cache/mage--X

[gstaniforthsessiondigital]

Instead of storing cache in a serialised array it would be much faster to store it as a native php file and var_export() the array.

If the file is .php it will get picked up via the opcache and be stored in memory but also precompiled and stored in opcache. This would also remove unserialised logic also.

Hello,

For improvement some users can disable check for updated scripts (php files) in opcache for performance improvement. Magento does not know about opcache engines on server. Magento need support all opcache applications (xcache, php opcache, apc and etc.) or use scripts for serializations deserializations

Thanks

"support all opcache applications" is not relevant for PHP 5.5+. Also, if check for updated PHP files is not disabled on production - it's simply a server misconfiguration which must be fixed.
