    # echo 'ulimit -HSn 65536 >> /etc/rc.local
    # source /etc/profile

5. Increase PHP-FPM open file description rlimit:

    Find "<value name="rlimit_files">1024</value>"
    Change 1024 to 4096 or higher number.
    Restart PHP-FPM.

6. Using PHP code accelerator, e.g eAccelerator, XCache. And set
"cache_dir" to /dev/shm on Linux.
