XAMPP / WAMP / whatever it is: Apache is running super slow

Question

I've got my Windows PC (localhost) running XAMPP. It loads the pages sometimes really quick or sometimes really slow. So, I figured and searched and was recommended to get WAMP. I got that and installed it. Still, the pages load so damn slowly. No heavy CPU load or anything, all my ports are open too. Any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Here's a solution that really worked for me.

One thing to try is changing the following two entries in `apache/conf/httpd.conf` from `OFF` to `ON`:

```
EnableMMAP on
EnableSendfile on
```

Also, enable and set `realpath_cache_size= 4m` to your `php.ini` file.

If your are using InnoDB database also enable and set in `my.ini`:

```
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2
```

Finally, it seems it worked for some people: edit your host (`C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts`) by adding

```
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
```

And commenting:

```
\# ::1 localhost
```
