Drupal Site Loading Slow in Windows?

If you are using a Content Management System, especially Drupal on Apache, PHP and MySQL in your Windows web server, you may realize that the page loading speed isn't as fast when you put it up on a Linux web server, even though your desktop has probably an i7.

Kah Thong found out that the loading page speed has to do with the database engine; In Windows, the engine storage type is default to INNODB while Linux's default storage engine type is MyISAM. You will find that the loading page will be much faster when you alter the tables from INNODB to MyISAM. Technically I do not know why, but I believe there are tons of explanations online.

So yeah, this is so much useful when it comes to coding a Drupal theme. Try it out :)
