Optionally you can install eaccelerator to speed the things even more.Īs I side note: I found WAMP less mature as a project than XAMPP.If you are into web development, you must have heard the term XAMPP, which is widely used for the purpose of testing websites, which are designed using Marina DB, Perl, and PHP. Then go to Antivirus -> Exclusions and add exclusion for the directory where your php files reside.ĭon't forget to restart apache after above steps. "Advanced" solution - go to Antivirus -> Shield -> Advanced Settings -> Exclusions Tab and there add exclusion for httpd.exe (located in your xampp installation/apache/bin/).Simple solution - just switch bitdefender to game mode when working with xampp.I am using bitdeffender and here is the solution for it: With antivirus disabled everything was lightening fast (less than 100 miliseconds per simple pages, and about 500 miliseconds for really heavy stuff (100+ chained require_once())). Big PHP scripts with a lot of chained require_once()s tooked more than 1,5 seconds. When it was enabled even simplest PHP page was taking more than half a sec to open. The problem was caused by the my antivirus software. So I don't think that it is because of my PC speed, but I'm sure that there's some another problem.ĭo you have some experience with XAMPP speed on Windows 7 (or Vista) ? One of my server's results (as idle computer nearly as my PC, but a little bit faster): I've made a little simple benchmark PHP script to test HDD/CSS speeds: " Įcho "Read/write #2: ". my PC: AMD Turion 64 X2 1,6 GHz dual-core, 2 GB RAM, 100 GB HDD.disabling MySQL server don't affect speed.on localhost is no demanding PHP scripts, problems are when there is simple phpinfo() even if there is long heavy scripts.CPU is still idle (no increased activity while loading).while waiting to load a localhost webpage, status bar says "Waiting for localhost.".In my opinion, it should be at most some hundreds miliseconds. When I open I must wait probably 1-3 seconds for view a webpage. Everything (Apache & MySQL) is working fine except for speed. I'm running XAMPP 1.7.1 on Windows 7 Ultimate.
