Localhost MySQL PHP Database Migration Slow Performance Compared To Virtualhost Homestead

Question

[VIRTUAL HOST] Laravel Homestead database migration are so much faster than my [LOCALHOST] Laravel Valet / Vessel / XAMPP /?

Can anyone explain why? Or is there a way to enhance my localhosts speed?

Answer 1

VM image is loaded into memory, which would account for the speed difference. In memory usage at the Activity Monitor, VBoxHeadless takes up 1.4G with Laravel Homestead. This is probably the reason why Laravel Homestead is faster than localhost.
