Thanks.
Testing is local only, via WAMP
Drupal
1. Created MySQL database via WAMP, using phpMyAdmin
2. Installed according to instructions
3. I have installed 2 version 6 sites, and 2 version 5 test sites -- as individual, not multisite, installs in separate directories and sites, with different Testing Server Folders in C:\wamp\www\sitename
4. Only one is open at any time, e,g. [
localhost].
5. Change theme and add modules
6. Testing = simply viewing changed pages locally in Admin window, or tabbed local site URL
While working on site, I have Dreamweaver open and use minimally to inspect html or css.
(Could this be an issue? I have a total of 13 Sites in C:\wamp\www\. Four are real, and others are testing only.
I have McAfee Security Center antivirus on. I could try disabling it -- since my Testing is all local. But I periodically need to research issues online. Although, I could use my second computer for online work if McAffee might contribute to slowdown.
Joomla
1. Same install procedure.
2. Theme change to a purchased theme: (JSN Epic Pro by Joomlashine)
3. Testing = simply viewing changed pages locally -- either in Preview mode or via a second Firefox Tab or in IE.
Slow down happens while swtiching to menu items, making and saving changes, previewing
