Zend Framework very bad performance on WAMP

Question

I am developing a project on windows with wamp installed using zend framework. Unfortunately it has very slow performance, although I did the things mentioned in the manual:

• remove require once
• added apc

I recently installed Scienta ZF Debug Bar v1.3, and here is an example of results i get:

Queries: 48 in 53.01 ms
Memory: 9188 KB
Controller time: 8335.74 ms

I cant figure out why it works so slow. Any help is greatly apreciated.

EDIT:

Got xdebug profiler to work eventually, and it is very strange since I see the page load and it is a lot ... 6-7 seconds like the bar is telling me ... but in wincachegrid i see a total run time of 641ms ... i am :|

Answer 1

Have you tried profiling the application? Zend Studio and Xdebug both give the ability to profile your application and see what exactly is taking so long.

Answer 2

A few more suggestions:

• Check your error logs, as most of the runtime is in your controller, it might be dumping tons of errors.
• Consider using the xcache or eaccelerator opcode caches instead of APC (obsolete I believe).
• Put some timing code in the controller to see if you can identify the the slowest sections of code.
