I have upgraded our site from Craft 3.7.54 to 4.4.1 on my local wamp server to prep for upgrading our staging environment and I'm noticing a fairly significant speed drop and I can't quite figure why that might be the case.
Here's a comparison between 3.7.54 and 4.4.1
Local server is WAMP 3.2.9 64bit (Don't judge me please, I can be a terrible creature of habbit)
Apache 2.4.46
PHP 8.0.26
MySQL 5.7.31
Installed plugins: Azure Blob Storage, Redactor, Retour, a custom plugin for handling job listings. I have tried disabling all plugins and see no change.
I reduced the page I'm testing to one use just one element query and it was still slower than 3.7. The simple element query is below.
{% set entries = craft.entries.section('markets').with([ ['smallImage', {kind: 'image', withTransforms: [listed] }] ]).level(1).all() %}
Any thoughts on what the culprit for the drop in performance locally may be? I have not pushed any of this to staging environments to test as of yet.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
