But then, as we know, caching works great mainly for anonymous user. Any advise? I would be interested to get a local development server fast.

That's pretty fast. I'll look into MySQL caching as we have another big site (drupal based) that we're launching and would be good to optimize it as much as possible. Thanks for the tips!

Drupal makes a lot of repetetive databases requests for the same data, which is why the core needs to make much better use of object caching, ideally with an optional apc backend for that object caching. Remember that ( on a beefier box ) support.activestate.com is seeing hundreds of requests a second on a pretty heavy page: <code> Direct against php/apc/one box Requests per second: 190.96 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 523.658 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 5.237 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 4820.51 [Kbytes/sec] received </code> You might want to do some profiling with xdebug to see where your machine is spending all of its time.
