Do it myself. I don't think Zend Accelerator actually saves you much
work since you still have to mark off what you need to cache yourself.
I do use Turuk MMcache to do execution caching (Accelerator also does
this) but that doesn't have anything to do with managing content.

I have a framework which makes this all pretty easy to add to an
existing site.
