Symfony on Xampp is very slow in development, what can I do?


A few quick suggestions:

  • install PHP 5.5.x (faster)
  • Use mod_fcgid instead of mod_php with Apache
  • Raise realpath_cache_size and realpath_cache_ttl in your php.ini
  • disable XDebug
  • ...

See this question, this question and this question.
