Right now the old "mysql" driver is being used. Move to the newer "mysqli" one (it's 100% supported by xampp and will offer some speed benefits, for sure.

Hi Eloy,

does this involve any more than changing $CFG->dbtype = 'mysql'; to $CFG->dbtype = 'mysqli'; ?

I have tried it briefly, but noticed no real difference. slightly slower if anything

Done. Now Moodle 2.0 will be using native mysqli driver by default. At the same time I fixed some problems with pear libs and cleaned up a bit the database creation process. Resolving as fixed.
