WampServer

Windows XP (SP3) on an old laptop.
Single processor 3550GZ Intel Pentium M, 1.7GHz, 1GB ram

Installed wampserver2.2e-php5.4.3-httpd2.2.22-mysql5.5.24-32b.exe

Installed Wordpress

My CPU keeps shooting to 100% . It's painfully slow to do anything in Wordpress.

I looked at my Task Manager and it's httpd.exe that's hogging the CPU

I can be idling along at around 2 to 7% CPU, (with Wampserver running) as soon as I load wordpress it shoots to 100%.
Everything I do in WP causes httpd.exe to send the CPU to 100% for about 5 seconds.

So thinking the laptop may just be too old and underpowered I installed everything on another old, but not as old, laptop.

This one is also runing XP (SP3)
Dual proccesor, Intel Core 2, 1.73GHz, 2GB ram

Same problem, everything I try to do in Wordpress I see "Connecting" for 5 to 10 seconds and the CPUs on both processors go to 50 to 100%

No errors in Apache error log except one about a missing favicon.ico which I doubt is the problem

Is there something I can do to speed things up or is that normal for Wamp on XP?

Thanks

No that's not normal. Did u enable any extra plugins in Wordpress or change anything other then the standard install

ahh crap, that was it.

I disabled the single plugin I had installed and that fixed it.

Problem is, that one plugin is the only reason I installed Wordpress in the first place. It's a plugin which enables me to design and create mobile websites. It works fine on my web hosted WP install but I wanted to use it in an area where I don't have internet access so I figured Wamp was the solution.

I guess not. The plugin is obviously too large and code-heavy to run properly under Wamp

Grrrr

Thanks Steve. If you have any other suggestions to accomplish what I'm trying to do - I'm all ears

Dean

its not that its too heavy for wamp.

there is just some bug in it probably.

do you have a link to the plugin?

and error logs?

Apache error log has no errors. Are there other error logs I should check?

The plugin is a paid plugin so I can't really link to it as it's behind a membership site.

bad coding deserves to be publicly denounced!!!

got your pm , send me a link and ill look at it tomorrow

thanks
