I recently moved from Lenovo x230 with Ubuntu 14.10 linux to Macbook Pro w OSX Yosemite
and after i configured everything the way it was, i am experiencing extremely poor performance in my Symfony 2 projects, page takes like 5-10 times longer to load.
As far as i can tell there is some I/O problem and PHP has really slow access to files compared to linux, even tho ssd hdd should be a ot faster then the on i had in my old lenovo.
Solution: Disable the FireVault feature in osx, it has very poor performance while working with thousands of small files.
