>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #1535426. --> Reported by: [vacilando](https://www.drupal.org/user/45996) >>> <p>On a local installation, I use local subdomains as fake CDNs. The local domain is something like mydomain.dev. The CDNs have pattern img1...img5.fakecdn.dev.</p> <p>With the automatic distribution across CDNs, files load pretty much simultaneously from the fake CDN. Very nice. But each file loads 20-30 <strong>seconds</strong>!<br> When not using CDN, the local images (with warm cache) load from mydomain.dev within 30 <strong>ms</strong>.<br> In other words, with fake CDN things load 1000 times slower!</p> <p>I thought perhaps Apache's MaxClients delays delivery of all the parallel images. But it's not that -- MaxClients is set to 150, which is plenty for a local install (with 8 GB RAM!)</p> <p>I wonder whether it's the fake CDN that causes this... something timing out somewhere. (I cannot test it with CloudFront because it would not recognize my dev install.)<br> But the fake CDN setup should be <em>saving</em> (instead of prolonging) time -- I mean, that's why the module <a href="http://drupal.org/project/parallel">Parallel</a> stopped development in favour of the CDN module.</p>
