Alexander on Web Development

I have just installed Atrium, a highrise look alike made with Drupal on my localhost (development machine) and noticed that it was taking from 3 to 6 seconds to load each page. I tried an installation on a shared host on Dreamhost and also it was very slow, even after enabling the caching options in Drupal. Sounds familiar?

If your using XAMPP on Windows, install eAccelerator! I was going to install XCache, but after seeing on a post somewhere that eAccelerator was already bundled with XAMPP I decided to go with eAccelerator instead. All you need to do is enable it in your php.ini configuration in xampp/apache/bin/php.ini

If still that doesn't work, God help us!
