I've setup Drupal to run successfully on a Uniform Server installation on my local machine, but it's really slow. It's taking over 30 seconds to enable/disable modules, and around 3-10 seconds on most other pages. This is becoming time prohibitive.

Things I've observed/tested:

• PhpMyAdmin (running under the same server stack) doesn't seem to take any unnecessary time to load with any operations.
• As per this guide, disabling my firewall (while LAN/WAN disabled) has no effect.
• Modifying php.ini and my windows hosts file (also by that guide) have no effect.
• Firefox settings seem to have no effect (including the one mentioned in that guide).

My next move is simply to try a different server stack, but I'm wonder if I have to. Advice?
