title: XAMPP Running really slowly with PHP/MySQL
body: <p>I've got XAMPP installed on my Windows 7 Computer.</p>
  
  <p>I've been developing on it for a while now but my development has come to a grinding halt because <code>XAMPP</code> is rendering my <code>PHP pages</code> really slowly.</p>
  
  <p>It's running so slowly, that it's exceeding the 30 second time-out limit that I've got set in the PHP.ini file.</p>
  
  <p>I don't know what it could be that has all of a sudden prevented it from running properly.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried the following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Reinstalled XAMPP and copied back my MySQL database files and website files</li>
  <li>Deactivated my Antivirus/firewall after reading articles that this might do the trick</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>But to no avail.</p>
  
  <p>Could it be that my MySQL database is corrupted?</p>
  
  <p>It's not that my MySQL queries are slow, because I've got the exact same version of code live on my website.</p>
  
  <p>I'm just looking for suggestions to rectify it so that I can continue the development.</p>
  
  <p><strong>This is the last bit of the MySQL error log</strong></p>
