body: <p>Magento 1.8 is painfully slow on my wamp localhost.</p>
  
  <p>I <strong>have</strong> increased the memory in <code>php.ini</code>, following this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2757147/problems-in-installation-of-magento-on-wamp#2757251">answer</a>,</p>
  
  <pre><code>max_execution_time = 1800
  memory_limit = 512M
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it is still very very slow.</p>
  
  <p>Anything else can I do?</p>
