I am not using any PHP bytecode cache. About one year ago I tried 
eAccelerator which causes Apache freeze. Now I installed ZendOptimizer

The upgrade from 5.1x to 5.2x make same change into memory utilizzation (ex. 
Zend memory manager) and apache2 SAPI. (try to check the apache memory 
utilizzation)
You can check the php-5.2.0 changelog to find out some important change for 
yours applications (no fixed bug) or retry with new version of php.
