Slow vagrant box, how to improve this?

Question

We\'ve built a vagrant box for our development box and we are facing some latency issues.

Issues:

• Assetic:watch is being slow
• Ove

Answer 1

• consider allowing the VM to use one or two additional CPU core. This can be controlled from virtualbox gui interface or with a vagrant config. See bottom of this page https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/virtualbox/configuration.html

• make sure your VM is running on a SSD drive (if budget is ok with that)

• If you have xdebug enabled or xdebug profiling enabled in your php.ini, it can slow down php. We noticed a real performance improvement when disabling xdebug.remote_autostart on our vagrant boxes where I work. This does force your to start debugging sessions differently though.
