I installed drupal on my machine which is running WAMPserver latest one with PHP 5.3.54, but after installation it is running very sl开发者_JAVA技巧ow.

Is there any tweaks which need to be done to make it fast??

I tried joomla and it is working very fast, I dont know what is wrong with Drupal.

Please let me know if there is any solution.

My drupal version is 6.x-1.2 and I am using drupal-commons from acquia

Thanks Pranay

Have you tried increasing your

realpath_cache_size

in your php.ini file? Try setting it as 2M and see what happens.

I've seen similar issues with Drupal under some Windows AMP packages. Installing a PHP accelerator, like eAccelerator or APC made a huge speed improvement.

Or you can switch to an _AMP package that includes a PHP accelerator. XAMPP comes with eAccelerator pre-configured and works really well with Drupal, in my experience.
