Why all my files are not cached with apc op code?

Question

I'm using APC (3.1.9) and Zend Framework, however, only a bunch of file are being cached (something like 10 / 400).

Do you have any ideas? I'm using the factory options on a debian installation.

EDIT: It looks like the only file which are opcached are the one I manually call with require ''; however the ones which are loaded by my autoloader are not. Any ideas?

The files that are getting opcached php code

And the index.php (ZF) where I require files and register autoloader within Zend_Loader_Autoloader.

opcached files

What are the values of apc.shm_segments and apc.shm_size? And what is 'like 10/400' how did you determine that number ? — meze
hi, I added the entire runtime configuration, 10/400 means that using Zend Framework and others libraries, I've around 400 files which are loaded on each request, but only 10 are opcached. — Trent
Again, how is it that you are determining, that you have 390 misses. :) — Layke
@Layke, well, I know that I've ~400 files loaded, and only 10 are opcached, I see them in the apc.php script provided by Apc. — Trent

Probably one of the biggest downside to autoloading is that op cache doesn't cache autoloaded files as one would hope (something about autoload being runtime vs. include/require being compile time. Or not. I dont claim to understand it.). Read more here.

While I never tried, I wonder if manually adding your autoloaded file to the cache by calling apc_compile_file() in the autoloader would, effectively, solve this issue?
