Speed of apache/php4 on windows

Hi all, i've got apache/php4 running on windows xp with good hardware configuration etc. However, the speed of execution of php pages is really slow. When testing on my local development machine it takes a few more seconds executing php files than it should normally take. How can I up the speed of execution ? is this possible ? On my hosting server its really really fast ! and I will like the same settings for my local machine as it has a very good hardware configuration and memory. cheers --------------------------------- Expecting?
