title: Improve Xdebug performance
body: <p>I've found many articles, and posts about this, even on stackexchange sites, I'd just like want to be sure, is it the max, what I can get from <code>xDebug</code>.</p>
  
  <p><strong>My scenario:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I am developing a wordpress site on localhost. Every time, when <code>xDebug</code> is on, when I want to load a page, the server response is 7-8 seconds. You can imagine, how frustrating it is, when you develop, and you need to reload your pages a lot of times.</p>
  
  <p>If I am turn it off, (comment out from <code>php.ini</code>) it goes down to 1-2 seconds.</p>
  
  <p>Do you see anything, what I did set badly in my configuration? If no, can you suggest me any settings what improve the speed of the server response time?</p>
  
  <p>If it could be 3-4 sec, a server response with <code>xDebug</code>, that could be lovely. Thanks.</p>
