Hello.
Lurked around but couldn't find an answer to which could solve my problem. So i got this thing.
Drupal is extremely slow on my WAMP localhost server for some pages it takes even 10 or more seconds to load.
But after I plug-out my internet cable or just disable network in my network properties - drupal starts to load very fast, speed is just amazing and it takes just a second to load even heaviest pages.
Any suggestions what could I do to keep my drupal site fast and not to disconnect from the network?

PS.: i am on XP, tried turning off firewall - no improvements, putting webpage online or offline in wamp settings doesn't give any better speed as well.

Thanks,
beirut

and not the drupal alone is slow. Phpmyadmin is also slow. I guess I just need to block internet access for this wamp application but how can I do that?

Set the "relpath_cache_size" to 2M. By default its set to ridiculously low levels.

Also make sure that you are using MyISAM tables.

This is because of drupal 's update module, just trun off it...it will be fine

Summary: choose MyISAM over InnoDB for MySQL -- reduced my Module page loading time from 15 seconds to less than 1 second.
