I have a fresh local install of Drupal 6.12, using Apache/2.0.58 (Win32) PHP/5.1.4

The administer link on the admin pages is very slow. I applied the following advice found in the forum:

Disabled the Update module

Followed directions in post http://drupal.org/node/311626 to:
Changed the line default-storage-engine=myisam to default-storage-engine=innodb
Change key_buffer_size=512M - it was 8M
restarted MySQL
Deleted the Database, and the website files, and re-installed 6.12, this time opting not to enable update. Did not enable any additional modules.

The admin link is still as slow as it was before these changes - in Firefox as well. It goes along fine once inside the admin menu. Since this is on a local machine, should I just live with it and hope for better performance when I upload it to my host provider?

Will changing the default-storage-engine to myisam cause issues when running on the host? All my other sites databases have been created witht he default settings.

Thanks
