Serving up a web page on my local websrver for developing was super slow. I tried various things from looking into php memory settings and disaabling windows firewall to ressolve the issue.

I can't confirm whether Windows defender was contributing, but plan on testing this in the near future.
WAMP Server 2.0 comes with openssl so we need to create a self signing SSL certificate first before we touch WAMP
First you need a DOS box and to locate your openssl.exe. Mine is located here:
C:\\wamp\\bin\\apache\\apache2.2.6\\bin\\openssl.exe Jump into that directory cd c:\\wamp\\bin\\apache\\apache2.2.6\\bin
First you need to generate an RSA Private Key and Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
Entering the following as root of sudo will restart Apache gracefully and wait for all current requests to finish before they are removed. The advantage of this is that anybody browsing your server at the time won't get a "page not found" error
sudo apachectl -k graceful
