I agree I don't see a case for ever using XDebug in a production environment with APC (unless you're providing some sort of developer service, and even then).  Obivously the user cache needs to function as you could be debugging something related.  In our development environment I'm just not sure how much additional time this will cost us in addition to xdebug.  I believe it takes 6 seconds (roughly there might be other crud going on there) for us to compile all the code into opcodes for execution, so tacking this on to xdebug might cause some headaches for developers.

But like I said, I think this case is pretty extraordinary, so for the sake of getting this great feture in if we need to disable this then I think I'm fine with figuring out some other solution to it should it actually be a problem at a later date. Even if I can disable this in APC then that might be enough to work around it.
