I have a local MediaWiki installation on a flash drive using XAMPP. I have enabled every possible form of caching as far as I know except for Varnish, since it's unavailable on Windows. Additionally, miser mode and many other settings that apparently increase speed are enabled. However, it still takes ~40 seconds to load the main page (or any other page) after modifying LocalSettings.php. It's possible that I'm misusing Squid, as I couldn't find anything that said whether or not I could use it locally (though I'm leaning towards no, given that there is no notable speed difference between enabling and disabling it). I have enabled php_apc. Is there any way to speed it up?
This is my LocalSettings.php file (comments removed to condense):

Squid is a service that you need to set up (much like Varnish). You cannot enable it from MediaWiki config; at most you can make MediaWiki interact with it (or it would interact with it if it were there). – Tgr – 2017-12-21T06:17:13.347
If you use file caching the load time should be approximately zero as everything is just loaded from cache; so something is not working. You can use profiling (via MediaWiki support for xhprof/tideways, or via XDebug) to see what that is.
