Is XAMPP slow?
I’ve used XAMPP for pretty much as long as I’ve been doing web development. It makes it trivial to get Apache, MySQL, and PHP set up.Since upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 though I’ve noticed it was running much slower. I just assumed that XAMPP is slow. There was also an upgrade to XAMPP as part of that, although I don’t remember what versions.
The slowness was especially noticeable working on Moodle plugins. It was almost unusable, although that’s not too surprising with the 250-300 database tables that Moodle uses.
Googling brought a bunch of potential solutions
- Disable IPv6
- Edit hosts file to point 127.0.0.1 to localhost
- Exclude Apache, MySQL, and PHP from firewall
And all of these seemed to help just a little bit, but so little that it could have just been psychological.
