Thread:Project:Support desk/MediaWiki very sluggish

I've just upgraded to MediaWiki 1.19 and the response time has slowed to 3-5 seconds following an edit or opening a page.


 * MediaWiki: Version 1.19 (upgraded from 1.15).
 * XAMPP Lite:
 * Apache 2.4.3
 * MySQL 5.5.27
 * PHP 5.4.6


 * Windows 7
 * RAM: 8GB
 * CPU: Intel Core i5-2400, 3.10 GHz.


 * Browser: Google Chrome Version 22.0.

Everything works as before, it's just terribly slow. I've moved to a faster CPU, more RAM, etc., so that shouldn't be the problem.

There is a message in the browser while it's "thinking": waiting for localhost.

The only thing that is out of the ordinary is that I've created three wikis with separate database. But I had been running two wikis prior to the upgrade and there was no problem. It's no slower or faster if I run one wiki or three.

I've disabled/re-enabled the firewall, edited the localhost file, turned off all competing processes, etc.

I get the feeling that it's a Windows 7 thing but I can't pin it down.

Is the fact that XAMMP Lite uses relative addressing relevant?

Any ideas?
