Anyone having this issue ? I am running Windows 10 with Xampp . Drupal 8 is extremely slow, takes a long time to load pages ( about 10 sec wait time.)

Previous version of Drupal run fine without a problem in my Windows Environment

I stopped using windows and Xampp and other emulators for the same problem, I find them slow also with drupal 7.

I know it is not a good reply to your answer, but have you considered to use linux? For example I've started to work on linux Mint and now my local sites are fast :-)

I did try putting drupal 8 into production and its must faster there

I want to try to tweak xampp first before going into linux world. It might have something to do with xampp now supports MariaDB and the Drupal connects to mysql. Not sure

nothing to do with MariaDB. it's windows. Throw ubuntu on a partitioned harddrive to have access to both worlds and better understand how servers work.

fixed the issue with setting in my.ini

innodb_log_file_size = 10M
