Why is the demo version so slow?
I develop a lot of Laravel sites. I have waterhole running on development server along with other laravel installations, with much more db calls, controllers etc. I have put Waterhole (standalone) in production mode, disabled debugging and I have enabled all the caching etc.
Other laravel sites load any page, even on first load in less than a second. With tons of queries.
But waterhole, on firts load, same server, 8gb of memory, it's own CPUs - really a good environment, takes about 4 seconds to load on first load. Thereafter, about 1.-1.4 seconds. This is with one user on the site.
Why is that? Is it because it is the demo version? Is the licensed version faster? Is the demo version throttled somehow?
