I have setup my latest system using this guide:
http://mikekeran.com/drupal-developer-setup-windows
With the exception of using Windows 8 and phpStorm, i3, 16GB ram, and no php timeout set in php.ini
That is so everyone know the system environment.
While the Drupal 8 does install there are two large issues I have: It is impossibly slow (30 - 60 second page loads) and some pages wont even load http://drupal8/admin/structure/types/manage/page/fields for example.
Is there something more that should be done to the setup or is it the Drupal 8 codebase. On my Linux/Mac it seems to be running fine. Could I help with profiling? If so point me to an article that outlines what I should do to help.
