Mamp localhost resolving very slowly

When I make local changes to my PHP / WordPress website, the localhost does not seem to update for 20-30 minutes.

I'm on Mac OSX 10.8.4 and using MAMP Pro. I have two sites that I have created separate host entries for, let's call them mysite1.dev and mysite2.dev.

Here is my MAMP Server configuration:

Apache: 80
MySQL: 3306
SSL: 443

I saw this article ( How can I eliminate slow resolving/loading of localhost/virtualhost (a 2-3 second lag) on Mac OS X Lion? ) on the Bonjour conflicts and edited my /private/etc/hosts file with the suggestions in this article:

  1. I changed the host names from mysite1.localhost to mysite.dev because it sounds like the conflict is with .local names - DID NOT WORK

  2. I updated the Hosts file to have separate ::1 addresses - DID NOT WORK:

    ::1 <tab> mysite1.dev
    ::1 <tab> mysite2.dev
    
  3. I tried putting all of my host entries onto one line - also didn't work:

    127.0.0.1 localhost mysite1.dev mysite2.dev
    ::1 localhost
    fe80::1%lo0 localhost
    

It seems like MAMP Pro overwrites the hosts file any time I restart the server.

I would be SUPER grateful for any help you can offer.

Change MAMP cache to OPcache. It worked for me enter image description here
