System details:

  • Processor: Intel® Pentium® Processor 2020M (2M Cache, 2.40 GHz)
  • RAM 1.8GB
  • OS type: 64-bit (Release 12.04 (precise) 64-bit)
  • Kernel Linux 3.2.0-32-generic
  • GNOME 3.4.1

I'm a php developer. Newly Introduced to Laravel framework. When I was using a windows system I've to install xampp and then start apache(though it takes much load and makes system slow) I was very happy when I switched to ubuntu 12.04 LTS because the web server runs as a daemon (like a smooth ride).

So when I decided to use Homestead and enter into the terminal 'vagrant up' Then Its like 'why have you done that with such a low configuration'.

So my question is what I have to do for better performance ?

  1. Add 2GB more RAM (low budget option).
  2. buy new system with better configuration
  3. any other performance tweaks ?

Update: Details from system monitor: 1st image -> 'vagrant up' 2nd image -> 'vagrant ssh' 3rd image -> 'vagrant halt'

I think it's best to check the system monitor to see what the bottleneck is. open system monitor before vagrant up and check if ram, processor or disk usage is close to max.

From the images, It seems your RAM is the main bottleneck. Upgrading your RAM might help a lot.
