Magento – Magento under XAMPP very slow

xampp

I installed Magento 2.0.2 (latest) locally under XAMPP on Windows10 for developing purposes and it is very slow in admin interface.

Working on hardware: SSD, 16GB RAM, i7 CPU,
PHP ver. 5.6.8 – should I upgrade on PHP7?

Anybody know why its happenning ?

In configuration of Magento I can see there is
Full-page Cache with options Built-in Application(default) or Varnish Caching,
should I install Varnish?

And Storage Configuration for Media
Media Storage File System(default) or Database – Which option is faster please?

Best Answer

Definitely use PHP7 and if you can use a Linux machine, a virtual machive with VirtualBox is good enough.
